This female baboon has been spending the last couple of minutes foraging around the chalets here at Giant’s Castle Resort, and the rooftops make excellent vantage points from where to plan her next kitchen raid…

Yes, that’s a scene that’s familiar 🙂 Those wiley creatures like the vantage of height.. 🙂
“Wiley”. What an apt description Liz!
Kees se kind! Hul bly maar altyd op uitkyk vir iets om te kan gryp!
En hoe vinnig sien hulle nie n gaping raak nie Ineke!
Ek stem. Niks ontgaan daardie kraalogies nie! Hoop jul het n heerlike Paasnaweek
Ons het n baie lekker tyd gehad hier in die Drakensberge Ineke, en ek hoop en vertrou dat jy ook n heerlike paasfees geniet het!
Lekker stil en rustig. Hier is nie so baie mense om oordrewe besig te wees nie. Winkels is ook almal veronderstel om toe te wees. Hul kry groot boetes as hul oop is hier
Wonderlik, ek is bly om dit te hoor!
I’m glad our visitors in Durban are not that size. Looks perfectly at ease, doesn’t she?
She’s much more bold than the rest of the troop that foraged around the camp today, and seems to be an “old hand”. Not stressed at all with all the human attention.
Thanks for joining us here at de Wets Wild, Colonialist!
Is it true that monkeys are as common nuisance in Africa as reindeers are in Lapland?
Depends on how one regards them. We have troops of vervet monkeys on friendly terms with all of our family, and provided one doesn’t leave temptation around they are not a nuisance
They’re very clever animals NiinaMaria, and quickly learn that humans and their dwellings are a good source of nutrition if people don’t give some thought to how they store and dispose of their food. Humans cause the problem, but eventually the monkeys and baboons pay the price.
I’m intrigued by your comparison to reindeer in Lapland and I’d love to know what they get up to there?
I like these photos a lot. Smart place for her to be on the lookout. I put this on twitter. Have a great weekend 🙂
Thanks very much P J B! Hope you have a fantastic weekend as well!
