Abstract

The chacma baboon (Papio ursinus) is one of the largest of all monkeys and is a relatively common sight in the Cape Province in South Africa. The baboons have learned that food and people are closely linked. Individual baboons have even learned to open car doors and raid refrigerators in Cape Town. This conflict is widespread in South Africa but this is a description of how the Greyton community is resolving this conflict.
