Malik's Masterpieces
 |
 |
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. |
