Trust

I hadn't realised that there were so few photos of the Chacma baboon, and none of the babies, so here is one of my favourites.
Baboons unfortunately have a bad reputation and are one of the most persecuted of all primates. Fact is they have been inhabiting this earth for a lot longer than humans. Humans however build on their land, taking away their feeding territories and then complain that they have become a nuisance. The local troop has taken to sitting on my verandah (on my chair!) and chomping the tops off all my flowers. Its not easy not to complain but watching the antics of the youngsters makes it worthwhile!
