A mother and baby Chacma baboon (Papio ursinus) moves through a suburban neighbourhood of Da Game Park near Simon's Town outside of Cape Town on October 31, 2024. About 500 chacma baboons – among the largest monkey species and weighing up to 40 kg (88 pounds) – roam the peninsula south of Cape Town, says the South African National Biodiversity Institute. And as human development pushes up the mountain into their natural habitat, the animals are increasingly entering plush properties to forage in gardens and take the pickings from the bins.
