Baboon and Kitten bond



A patient little cat endures lessons in baboonery. According to notes accompanying the photograph—which arrived at the Geographic in 1956 but was never published by the magazine—"Baboon mother tries to make Fluffy sit up like a good monkey baby. But the kitten always falls back on her four legs. It seems like such a hopeless case."

This gorgeous photo is from National Geographic Flash Backs.

Yes, I also wonder what the kitten is thinking. She looks like she's a little stressed, with her ears pointed back slightly.

Why would it teach a cat to sit though?
