Living With Baboons: The Town in South Africa Where Monkeys Rule | Dangerous Wildlife Documentary

The whole reason that baboons go into town is because the humans don’t know how to manage their houses and food resources. It’s the humans fault. We took away their land where they would forage for food like they would in the wild. Baboons are going to be baboons, we can’t change that. But we can change how we handle our situation. It’s so frustrating that people rely on the authorities to fix the baboon problem for them, when the solution is in their own hands.

Sorry, but that was HORRID manipulation to do to her own child, to make her forever afraid, just for the dang tv show! Atrocious behavior by Mom. And then to top it all off... We'll call Daddy because we're just helpless women & children & it will make you feel better, after i just riled you all up!

Very cool documentary. Because baboons are so intelligent I wonder if a habit couldn’t be taught to them by leaving food for them in designated locations - or also by growing their preferred foods outside of the residential zones. I wouldn’t mind having a garden outside my home specifically for the baboons so that rather than deterring them from coming here for food - I’m encouraging them to go there. Very interesting and fulfilling life the handicapped woman is living. She should be the one speaking to the other locals about the baboons. Electric deterrents should only be used at stores. And theoretically if they have designated feeding locations they know about - and there’s a bounty of their preferred native diet - that should lower the incidents of them breaking into stores, and homes right? And even then noise seems to be most effective deterrent (whistling, the Jets, that one lady with a kazoo). It would be very interesting to see what effects playing Justin Bieber or Nickleback in the stores might have. :P Also very interesting that even when confronted with territorial conflicts - the baboons only go to violence as a last resort. Surely the more we learn about their behaviors and their own little psychology they have going on - there are ways to encourage them to go elsewhere for food. Without deterring. The best way to teach dogs after all is with positive reinforcement- not by yelling and carrying on. And baboons seem to be more intelligent. I’m convinced these baboons could learn new patterns. And if the people learn to be calm, the baboons as well will follow their behavior. To groom a baboon would surely be a once in a life time experience. It also makes me wonder if the baboons perceive her to be injured and thus not as much as a threat/someone they think they are tending to as well? If they refuse to attack a baby baboon - do they also refuse to attack an injured baboon/human? So when that first baboon was in her home and saw her, it was just like, “oh Shit. Sorry. I didn’t know” and did not want to rob her of her resources? Very intriguing documentary. Thank you for uploading! Sorry for the rambling comment. Feel free to respond to this comment and let me hear your input. I’ve never met a baboon in my life.

[@beckyyoung2173]

My comment from above... Why dont they make a feeding & watering station up in the hills for the baboons? Then they wouldnt have to come down for food & water. Could even do a man-made lake-pool for them to bath, play & cool off in. And, for doors & windows, why not install steel bars that are spaced enough so they cant climb in, so doors & windows can still stay open for the breeze & fresh air, but still keep them out? Solutions arent as hard as it seems, but people always expect the wild animals to change, when in fact, it's the humans that need to use their own brains & change what they choose to do to make things more bearable. Wild animals dont have that capacity to figure it out, so i has to be US that figures out ways to make things work. It might cost a bit for steel bars, but it's a one time expense. The food would be an ongoing expense, but you'd think there are people & organizations that might help with that? After all, they pay to employ a man to stay there daily to watch where, when, and what the baboons are up to. Just modify his job to feed & water them daily too. I'm just saying, those 2 things would be cheaper than the constant damage to homes, people's doc bills & pet's vet bills & the injuries & possibly deaths of innocent animals that just dont know any better. I'm sure there's other solutions that i havent thought of. Basically, if you give them what they need up there in the hills, they wont need to come down. They may still, for a while, until they realize they dont need to. Occasional baboon forays into town may still happen, but not nearly as often as is happening now. If we're going to encroach upon their home, we need to make allowances for them to sustain themselves too, without leading them into the temptation to raid homes for food, water, and such because we've taken their hunting grounds for our homes. We can at least try to coexist, rather than wipe them out to extinction, or make them violent out of fear of humans hurting them. I'm just sayin...

So very often our human history has shown that people have never had a problem coming in to an occupied area indiscriminately conquoring, killing and pillaging. Taking whatever we want to fulfill an emotional need. Not a physical one Taking over. Going to war. We'd rather kill and destroy than to compromise and work with the locals and the land. I'm admiring how the baboons negotiate and work with the situations presented to them. When they want something (or need something like food) they will look for the easiest and least confrontational way. They aren't looking to hoard anything or conqor others just for the excess goods or personal power. They seek a peaceful working solution. They aren't malicious or violent bullies, like us. We can and should be enter a place with the attitude of incorporating our lives within the natural environment. Instead of with an eye to change it to suit us.. Completely altering a space ruins it. Running off the inhabitants is morally wrong. We all have a place of value in this world. We need to learn to really respect that other creatures have the right to survive. And we should be using the land gently. We are desiccating the planet. Baboons could teach us a lot about how to negotiate our way in life. How to live at peace within our world. As a species, we are far from the least harmful.

“Dominion” is a silly term, such a thing doesn’t truly exist. Proper precautions should be taken though, use of firearms may prove effective in making the baboons more wary of humans.

If they don’t want to kill them, why not relocate them.

Why don't everyone leave their leftovers in a designated spot away from town

Humanity keeps invading areas where they should not, money is the root.

People feeding them is the biggest problem.

[@marilynevans8436]

Very interesting

People need to put bars over windows and doors.

[@patriciaorlando2380]

They are a menace

[@badtrekee4348]

Would an offering of food and water at the edge of town help keep them out people's homes?

[@lindabederio4603]

Why are these people so resistant and fight locking things up. He was right, its a hard lesson to learn, and these people are so resistant to learning that lesson. For me, I had to learn those hard lessons, but I did, and now it's second nature to me. And I don't mind, id rather lock up, than get ripped off by anyone.

[@jessesaucedo-yg5dy]

Human err is what it is I mean were smarter then them right so why do you leave spots for them to get in. They leave to do errands and leave windows open what fools come on get smarter

What an ignorant comment…

What a silly argument!

What a silly argument

[@lindabederio4603]

Ever since baboons ripped off the limbs of a 4 year old, my opinion of baboons has changed dramatically. I do think that they are predators.

[@lindabederio4603]

They do exactly as they please.

[@beckyyoung2173]

Why dont they make a feeding & watering station up in the hills for the baboons? Then they wouldnt have to come down for food & water. Could even do a man-made lake-pool for them to bath, play & cool off in. And, for doors & windows, why not install steel bars that are spaced enough so they cant climb in, so doors & windows can still stay open for the breeze & fresh air, but still keep them out? Solutions arent as hard as it seems, but people always expect the wild animals to change, when in fact, it's the humans that need to use their own brains & change what they choose to do to make things more bearable. Wild animals dont have that capacity to figure it out, so i has to be US that figures out ways to make things work. It might cost a bit for steel bars, but it's a one time expense. The food would be an ongoing expense, but you'd think there are people & organizations that might help with that? After all, they pay to employ a man to stay there daily to watch where, when, and what the baboons are up to. Just modify his job to feed & water them daily too. I'm just saying, those 2 things would be cheaper than the constant damage to homes, people's doc bills & pet's vet bills & the injuries & possibly deaths of innocent animals that just dont know any better. I'm sure there's other solutions that i havent thought of. Basically, if you give them what they need up there in the hills, they wont need to come down. They may still, for a while, until they realize they dont need to. Occasional baboon forays into town may still happen, but not nearly as often as is happening now. If we're going to encroach upon their home, we need to make allowances for them to sustain themselves too, without leading them into the temptation to raid homes for food, water, and such because we've taken their hunting grounds for our homes. We can at least try to coexist, rather than wipe them out to extinction, or make them violent out of fear of humans hurting them. I'm just sayin...

Electric fences?

[@MakeItWithCalvin]

Having gone camping frequently, bears are a lot like babboons. If they find ez food they keep coming back, hence bear "proof" items to try and discourage foraging. If the humans made it harder for the babboons to get in it will eventually change the behaviora. That said it takes time and effort and is the price you "pay" living somewhere like that. That said I do sympathize with the humans, that is very frustrating dealing with them!

[@lylebobroske5172]

Yes, we are educated with a similar situation but with bears. We as humans need to act responsible and we do. Karen from Canada
