Baboons are a major problem and not scared to come up close to human settlements of late. Monkeys, every so often you will find the odd one brazen enough to try get indoors.
With no leopard to keep numbers down, our Crown Eagle a new resident in town that may assist in time, numbers of troops are exploding in size, need to train them to use condoms!
That is more a scary picture than a funny one! But maybe the Crown Eagle needs to work on more offspring to help manage the baboon numbers!
Crowned eagle raised one chick last year, hopefully settle into the area.
Baboon encounter was up in the Drakensberg, most in the area are putting tiles over the thatch to keep baboons out. Cape has a bigger problem with the big boys in town than we experience, hopefully it stays that way.
