The Chacma Baboon is found in Southern Africa, where they can live in large groups if conditions are favourable. These amazing primates are extremely adaptable and can live on coastal terrain such as the southern tip of Africa and even in semi-arid climates. I took this picture in Cape Point, South Africa, where they feed on fynbos (finebush) plants, ocean invertebrates on the intertidal shore ( only 2 of the several groups have adapted this strategy) and easily accessible food from humans. The baboons are so intelligent, that they can even open up unlocked car doors!
