Grasslands are great places for opportunists and baboons use their nimble fingers and large brains, to collect an extraordinary variety of food from the grasslands. Insect grubs can be picked up from the edge of a soda lake in Kenya's Rift Valley. Flamingoes that gather here in large numbers leave a layer of rich compost that can be a food bonanza for those patient enough to pick through it. But a few baboons have become more ambitious, looking towards the flamingo's themselves as the food they want. They leap into the shallows in pursuit and the panicked birds flap their wings to wade away more quickly or take flight. Only this troop of baboons catch flamingoes and it was only five years before this shoot that they discovered the potential. The skill has spread fast and now, the whole troop are dedicated flamingo hunters.
