Meercats, baboons and tortoises

On the way back to Cape Town from our trip to Schotia and Addo wildlife parks,  we stopped at the Tenikwa Wildlife Rehab Center, a small park that rehabilitates large wild cats and works with farmers to show them how to protect their animals in ways that don’t require shooting the predator cats in their neighborhood. We couldn’t get good pictures of the cats because it was overcast and using a flash upsets them, so we only got one picture and we put that in with the lions. But this same center was also housing animals that could not be released back into the wild, such as baboons that were too used to humans to be released into the wild.

This creature below is a honey badger – normally pretty vicious. But here he is a playmate for the baboons.

Then there were the meerkats and tortoises. We are not sure why they were there but they were cute!
