Baboons Invade a Cape Town Community In South Africa (PICTURES)

It was sort of Drama in Cape town Housing estates when Baboons invaded and ransacked buildings for food. Most of the inhabitant took to their heel.
While some people don’t give a monkey’s about their vagrant neighbors even leaving out food for them, others go ape just at the thought of them.

In the suburb of Scarborough, a woman screams at the pair of baboons sitting casually on the roof of her house munching hunks of pilfered brown bread.
‘No-one understands what is happening here! This is the complete nightmare’, she yells, explaining that a baboon recently snatched shopping from her daughter’s hands. ‘She is completely traumatized,’ she adds. ‘It is
not even safe to leave the house. And no-one does anything about it.’

A neighbor hurls a futile stick at them – but they carry on munching. ‘I hate them,’ he says.
Not far away in Main Street, employees at a safari company have just discovered what happens if you go away for the week-end and leave a window open.

A group of baboons led by a male called Moby has left a trail of destruction in the staff kitchen. First target was the fridge where every packet has been opened, investigated and eaten. The menu runs to bread, pasta, cheese, peppers, eggs, carrots, tuna and corn.
