Some of folks that lived across the street from where I lived. The woman in the white top was weaving
 the hair of the one in front of her while the rest were just hanging out and talking.
This is a typical village scene, women taking care of each others hair, minus the tile floor.

This baby gorilla wants its caretaker back. Its mother was killed by poachers and was now being taken care of by a nurse at Dr. Schweitzer's famous hospital in Lambaréné. He is treated like a child, sleeps with the nurse and wears a diaper.
