Malik's Masterpieces

Malik
Malik
Malik is a baby olive baboon who was born on May 1, 2008.
His mother learned all about raising a baby from her older,
more experienced sisters who had given birth to babies one month
before Malik was born. She did a great job raising Malik but didn't produce
enough milk so we had to take him into our care when he was 8 days old.
Malik bonded to us right away and is doing very well now and his weight is
up to where it should be. He is trying new solid foods like grapes, raspberries,
strawberries and bananas and is developing his particular favourite likes
and dislikes. These include tomatoes and celery.

As part of his development we include different enrichment ideas to provide
both physical and mental development. He has numerous toys and skill-testing
devices to help him become the best baboon he can be, which will be
required when he goes to another zoo and tries to lead a troop and
eventually start his own family. Malik's Masterpieces is the result of
part of his enrichment program where he plays with tubes and caps
and learns about different colours and textures by running and
playing over blank canvases. All of this provides you with the opportunity
to purchase and support Malik and Naked Mole Rat Productions while
receiving a unique piece of artwork that is a definate conversation starter!

Here is the new YouTube video from Malik showing
off his creative skills. As part of his enrichment
program, Malik chooses colours and uses
brushes to bring the canvases to life. The
abstract art is a unique addition to any
space and all proceeds go to help support
the international wildlife conservation
efforts that we are involved with.


You can also "adopt" a baboon like Malik
from your favourite zoo! Check out our
adoptions page to show your support for
this or any animal you love. We are happy
to help and have many different options
for you and your organization to choose from.

Malik has been busy creating original works of art, ranging from a single footprint on canvas,
up to 20" x 24" canvas paintings. As part of Malik's enrichment program these abstract paintings
will be available for purchase on the website. Watch for the next YouTube video of Malik in the
process of creating his masterpieces. If you wish to receive this video, just send us your email address.
