Baboon Bandits - Monkey Alert in South Africa - Go Wild

They steal handbags, open cars and have no respect for humans. The last baboons of the Table Mountain region have become a real plague.
The resident population is split into sympathetic protectors and fierce opponents. The animals are deliberately run over by cars, shot and poisoned. The days of the last baboons at the Cape seem to be numbered.
According to scientists the baboons have to relearn that humans are a threat in order to survive. Thus a special force has been recruited from the townships: the „Baboon Police“. Day and night the „officers“ follow the marauding baboon troops trying to chase away the monkeys with slingshots, sticks and whips.
The documentary follows the „Baboon Police“ and their marauding monkey clans. Is there still a chance for humans and baboons to live in peaceful neighbourhood?

They don’t seem to be afraid of jimmy or mark either lol

[@charlesharper7292]

If the baboons and penguins and other wild factions would organize and syndicate. They could run their own Mafia and bump off the human gang!🤣🤣

[@GoWild_EN]

[@CapeNatureLover]

I agree

[@allamerican7351]

Your correct these are some of the dumbest humans I have ever seen

[@jademaiko527]

The most amazing thing to me is this: "they will see the shot coming and will duck it."

Hey the baboons and the Penguins were there first 🙈🙉🙊💯💯💯💯

[@monicaalvin8239]

Thank You all you nice humans and helpers who save the baboons who are intelligent and who have no respect for peopels homes and cars. It is as you tell a big problem and you are doing so well in sheltering the baboons lives. I wish you a Happy New Year ❤❤❤

[@Afrocanuk]

Root of the problem are the urban planners who did not consider what the population will be faced with.

[@kalikalimai1]

I'm on the side of the baboons - humans are the interlopers.

[@wynandnortje1977]

Sum 1 has to stand up for them now

[@jenniferarnold3960]

I always wonder why they put those huge tracking devices around their necks or their legs or whatever I would think that would be a safety hazard for them. Another animal could easily grab one to it why don’t they put a tracker inside of them like under their skin or something that would make much more sense.

[@charlesharper7292]

The baboon gang owns the land. The human gang is encroaching in their territory.

Baboon Dangerous Animal!!

[@mindfulkayaker7737]

Seems to me that the only way to keep a healthy ecosystem in the park there would be by re introducing the natural predators there

[@ianspingle8865]

They can't deal with the people in cape Town you think they'll be able to with leopards, lion's or hyenas?

[@CapeNatureLover]

There is a predators like caracals and cape leopards

[@CapeNatureLover]

It’s not only herbivores and omnivores

[@ianspingle8865]

@@CapeNatureLover the caracals are rare and they don't pray on larger animals and the cape leopard is nearly extinct.

[@CapeNatureLover]

@@ianspingle8865 but are there predators yes or no?

[@judieg.7945]

Is this what our founders had in mind for out country?

[@drobinson2525]

All these animals want is FOOD but,but I can see were that can become a problem so what can we do about this problem...I suggest put out leftover food in one designated place so that they can come to that spot and eat....I'm jus saying I don't live there so I can't imagine what the Helllll to do...but,but something must be done 👍

[@pitbull1026]

Cull. Why would they forage for food when they can take it, steal it or get it. Just cull them all. They won't relocate because they prefer to get their food from a human environment.

[@donnysandley4649]

Gotta figure it out 👍

[@lindabederio4603]

The humans will eventually make it nearly impossible for the baboons to procreate.

[@candicedilembo2060]

Tourists impose and invade the lions habitat by walking through their only space and the lions suffer for people's ignorance. in the baboon case people are suffering because of these pushy bullies called baboons.

[@DadionLester]

I have the answer.

[@scottwhitlock9481]

I understand both sides. If I had to eat leaves and bugs, I would want a steak or dessert for sure. Plus, people moved into their neighborhood. The other side, Get out of my house! The only frustration I feel is there are many non lethal things you could use to run the monkeys off. They need a second amendment so they can shoot a pop gun without people crying about it.

[@donnysandley4649]

Just have a big enough stick and not be afraid 😳

[@CapeNatureLover]

Aint gonna work

[@graftonduncan6530]

Solution a male lion 🦁 will be perfect

[@ianspingle8865]

Yeah let's bring in some leopards and hyenas to more teeth that will go over well in the city

[@CapeNatureLover]

Nah leopards are good enough we just gotta get the populations up a bit more

[@CapeNatureLover]

And yes there are leopards you guys just don’t do your research

[@BenzoBob-ye2dc]

No way! They would be dead!
