She kept lifting her arms up indicating that she wanted it being scratched as she swatted flies away, in the process interrupting our conversation with Mr Kibet. According to Mr Kibet, the baboon was so tiny then, weighing less than a kilogramme and had no fur on her body. Mr Kibet goes with the primate everywhere, including the farm, shopping centre and even village gatherings, something that has surprised people in the locality. Mr Kibet however, said that after he rescued the baboon, he reported to Chesuman Police Station and he was authorised to keep it. The KWS are also aware and they keep visiting to check on her progress,” said Mr Kibet.
