I had been hearing stories about Baboons and had even witnessed them running from the village farms after stealing maize. They would run quickly and cross over to the park/ecosystem, then sit and watch, daring the villagers to come and get them.

These long-time the Baboons are very clever; they even know that the road is boundry between the park/reserve and the village. So, once they are inside the park, no one can harm them. Since they are Omnivorous in nature, they normally steal chicken eggs, water, fruits, vegetables, Maize and even cooked meals. Baboons are excellent climbers and can  therefore easily go over a fence without trouble and get what they want from house. Observing the Baboons  after they have snatched  something from homes is an experience one cannot forget easily.

Thank you.
