Beautiful! Yes, it’s just beautiful when you go in the forest and something so exceptional happens. We were going to the swamp while Kete and I saw, for just few seconds, Fini traveling away from us. We both looked at each other afterwards saying: “I need to look better, but I.. did you..? Yes , let’s control before say anything!” We looked again and we saw her walking on three limbs, one was keeping something on her chest/belly. Following Fini is not easy and we didn’t want to stress the mum too much today. We waited and we saw her again in the swamp climbing down a tree; she had a baby! This time also Julia and Mkpeta saw her, she was hiding up in the tree and sceamed when we tried to come closer!
We asked to the trackers that followed the group the day before more information about her and they told us saw her the last time at 16:00 but without any infant. Thus, she should have given birth during the night or early morning. We didn’t pass through their nest this morning so we are not sure (27-28 November 2009).
