A Group of Baboons have been terrorizing residents in Cape Town, South Africa. They trawl through waste bins, loiter at trash dumps, steal from shops and markets and prowl around the picnic sites. Some are such practiced scavengers that they know exactly when the trash carts will be arriving with fresh supplies at the dump.
The Cape now spends hundreds of thousands of pounds on schemes to monitor the baboons, including squads of rangers and a help hotline. Although it is illegal to kill the animals, dozens are injured or killed each year, but others from brutal attacks from people who have caught them ransacking their property.
