A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Papio ursinus
Body length of 50–115 cm (20–45 in) and tail length of 33–85 cm (13–33 in).
We spot this lone young adult, he never once turned to look at as. Just browsing on into the fynbos. The Chacma baboon inhabits a wide array of habitats, from the grassy alpine slopes of the Drakensberg to the Kalahari desert. It is omnivorous with a preference for fruits, while also eating insects, seeds, grass and smaller vertebrate animals. The Chacma baboon is generally a scavenger when it comes to game meat, and rarely engages in hunting large animals.
