Chacma baboon

Papio ursinus

Description:

The latin name coming from it's bearlike face and large size, the Chacma baboon is one of the largest of all monkey species

Notes:

The majority of baboons we saw were very shy of humans, which is a good thing, as acclimated they can become pests, and even dangerous
