Chip Walter's Blog: Childhood Is Why We Are the Last Ape Standing - Posts Tagged "baboons"
Heading off for Africa
I have been lucky enough to be assigned to write what we hope will be a cover story for National Geographic magazine (I'm not allowed to say exactly on what). I'll be leaving Thursday on the first leg of the research for South Africa where I'll be camping in caves next week on the Indian Ocean. I am a very lucky man!
Just received an email from the photographer working with me on this article. He spent a week at the location I am headed to . He suggested I bring some paint ball ammo. Why? Because in the caves where I'll be camping with the scientists, they use paint ball guns to control the baboons who sleep in the caves with us.
Should be interesting!
Stay tuned. I plan to blog , when technology allows here and at www.chipwalter.com/blog. The chipwalter site will also allow me to upload pix.
