I dread those mothers arriving, can you imagine?. Might have to upgrade the paintball marker. I potted a monk that was causing some huis moles at my campsite, he dropped like a stone from about 10m up. I think he regained his senses on the last branch and staggered off. I did feel a little remorseful,  I never expected him to skydive like that.

Do that to a baboon and you may find yourself discussing dental matters and current affairs. I am very wary of them,  they are absolutely lethal.
I personally have never seen them in the reserve though.

They are definitely there. We saw a least 6 of them with a huge male next to the road about 2km in from the gate at St. Lucia.
Education is important but fishing is importanter !

Saw a troop of baboons near the mission rocks turn off. The big alpha male (and he was biiiiig) had what looked like the back half of a baby buck in his hand, and every now and again would stop have a chew on it. I had heard that they ate meat, but had never seen it.
