RE: Some of the true locals of the Deep South, Cape Town, South Africa.

Baboons have lost a lot of territory to human development, hopefully both will learn to live in harmony, although humans will come off second best when troops go through foraging.

Lovely photography with these guys living free along the mountains of the Cape.

Thanks :)So true @joanstewart and although I suppose it is innevatible with humans around; it saddens me how the baboons territories have been forcibly shrunken.

Home owners pay the price when the baboons have their way in their house !LOLZ

😂😂 Yip, big time and I have seen some horrific results in nearby areas here but the baboons had a good party each time so win, win for them 🙈😂

Little push back a good reminder we on their territory, old paths new houses collide!

For sure and if you build in their territory and leave a window open while out......logically they think it is an invite from the owner to themselves...🤷‍♂️😅

Sometimes it's not even the windows these big boys are clever, I wrote about how they now try get through thatched roofing up in the Drakensberg a couple of years ago. Caveman Shopper Showstopper

Tiles have since been laid above the thatch for both baboons and lightning strikes up there.

Yip, definately no lack of intelligence.....and love shown to their young amongst stern upbringing :)
