San Diego Zoo Baboon Enclosure 4K with happy guitar music
The San Diego Zoo baboon enclosure is one of the largest and nicest enclosures at the zoo. It is located in Africa Rocks, which is to the right as you come into the zoo and just past the Outback.
Once revered by Ancient Egyptians as representatives of the Egyptian god of learning, hamadryas baboons are also referred to as Sacred Baboons. These hardy Old World monkeys display complex social behaviors, and can live in troops of several hundred individuals. Though currently extinct in Egypt, these monkeys can be found in large populations in Ethiopia, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen. In fact, no other kind of baboon resides as far north as hamadryas baboons. The remarkable silver manes and pink faces of adult males add to the unique nature of these intelligent primates.
Hamadryas baboons are large-bodied monkeys with a strong build and a dog-like muzzle. Both males and females have brown or light gray fur. While the females have hairless black and brown faces, the male hamadryas baboon has a distinctive mantle (mane) of long silvery hair and a bright pink face and backside. These baboons sport a relatively short, tufted tail that is not prehensile.
Hamadryas baboons are diurnal, meaning that they are active during the day. After awaking around sunrise, troops of several hundred baboons will come together to monkey around. This includes chasing, playing, and social grooming within their One Male Unit (OMU) social group. Afterward, their work begins. The troop leaves the sleeping site, breaks off into smaller groups called bands, and the bands separate into OMUs to forage for food. The troop reunites in the afternoon for a water break, especially during dry times. Then, it’s back to more foraging in OMU formations. As the sun sets, the groups return to the sleeping site, and the monkeys coalesce once again for more social grooming before it is time for bed.
Although staring contests and lip-smacking may seem like trivial, if not amusing, ways of interacting with our friends, these behaviors have completely different meanings to hamadryas baboons. In fact, staring is considered a threat behavior! Other threat behaviors include tension yawns, during which a baboon’s canine teeth are clearly exposed, as well as head bobbing. But fear not, these baboons have behaviors known to comfort one another as well. Social grooming is extremely important for building relationships. Teeth-chattering and lip-smacking are considered reassurance behaviors, and are usually performed by dominant males as a sign of comfort. Dominant males may also produce a two-phase bark to ward of predators and other male baboons.
Wild Antics of a Chacma Baboon Troop
Kariega Game Reserve, situated in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa incorporates five diverse ecosystems ranging from evergreen forest to rugged mountain and dry savannah, making it an ideal home for the chacma baboon. This incredible video captures the day to day antics of the kariega troop, provides an informative narrative on the species and displays the natural splendour of this region.
Situated in the Eastern Cape, South Africa Kariega spans across 10,000 hectares of pristine wilderness, and is home to the famous Big 5, as well as zebra, giraffe, hippo, multiple species of antelope and an abundance of birdlife. Kariega is a family-owned and operated private game reserve, giving it a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Set on African plains with magnificent hills and dramatic river valleys this wilderness area combines spectacular and dramatic vistas with an abundance of African game and wildlife. Stay in one of the five lodges and enjoy a variety of land and water-based activities.
Baboon's Amazing Leap of Faith #shorts
Baboon's amazing leap of faith to from the highest branch of a short tree attempting to grab some food. Like, share, and subscribe.
The crowd was waiting breathless to see the leap, which seemed very dangerous. The baboon's perch was very precarious. I have never seen a baboon leap between tries like other monkeys. Would he make it? Was it worth it. After several minutes of posturing up for the leap, he sat down and decided to take a leak. The then did the smart thing and climbed down from the tree and leapt from the ground to grab the food he wanted. Even though we didn't get the leap we were waiting for, it was still a sight to see.

Mandrill, Lemur, Fossa and Serval find home in San Diego zoo
Mandrill - Mandrills are the largest and most colourful of the Old World monkeys. They are related to baboons and even more so to drills. Their furry head crest, mane, and beard are quite impressive. But what grabs your attention is their bright colouration. They have thick ridges along the nose that are purple and blue, red lips and nose, and a golden beard. It almost looks like they’re not real! An adult male mandrill that has the brightest and most distinctive colours on his face seems to be most attractive to females. But that's not all—those bright colours show up again on the mandrill’s rear end! Why? Well, those colours impress the ladies. And, they help mandrills to follow each other in thick forests. Adult females have duller colours and longer muzzles. They are also much smaller, about half the size of the adult males.
Lemurs - Lemurs are a type of prosimian, which means they are primates that evolved before monkeys and apes. They are more primitive than their cousins but share certain characteristics. Found in only one area on Earth—Madagascar and the nearby Comoro Islands—lemurs are considered the world’s most endangered group of mammals. Today there are over 100 lemur species. Their lemur-like primate ancestor is thought to have rafted over to Madagascar from Africa about 60 million years ago. With no competition from other primates and little predation, the original lemurs evolved to fill a large number of varying niches on the island.
Fossa - At first glance, a fossa looks like some kind of cat, monkey, or weasel. It has paws with claws like a cat, a long tail like a monkey, and round little ears like a weasel, so it's easy to be confused! Although it shares some adaptive similarities with cats, the fossa is closely related to the mongoose and civet. Its coat is short and dense, usually a rich brown colour with a golden tinge and a lighter-coloured belly. The fossa's tail makes up about half of the animal's length! Little is known about fossas, mostly because there aren’t many of them, and they live in remote, forested areas. They have puzzled scientists since the 1830s. Native only to the island nation of Madagascar, off the east coast of Africa, fossas are that island’s largest carnivores. Locals pronounce the name “foo-sa” and “foosh.”
Serval - African servals are small, slender cats with long legs, a lean body, a short tail, and a small head. Their extra-long neck and legs give them the nickname giraffe cat. Servals have a coat that is tawny with both black lines and spots, while their belly is a soft white. They top out at 40 pounds (18 kilograms) yet have the largest ears of any cat. Just how big are those ears? If we had ears in the same proportion to our head as servals do, they would be the size of dinner plates!

Wild Baboons!
There are wild Baboons all over South Africa. They can be very dangerous. They learned that there is food in the cars, so they stop the cars like they tried with ours and get violent to get any food.

Riverside Wildlife Centre - World's Largest Baboon Release Enclosure Build
Construction of the temporary enclosure that Riverside Wildlife and Rehabilitation Centre built for the world's largest ever rehabilitated baboon release.

Worlds Largest Ever Rehabilitated Baboon Release - Release Site
In April 2018, the Riverside Wildlife and Rehabilitation Centre (headquartered in Letsitele, Limpopo Province, South Africa) conducted the worlds largest rehabilitated baboon release. Over 100 baboons were released into a wildlife reserve, where they can now live without the fear of being killed or abducted to be kept as pets.
This short video is an overview of the temporary release site enclosure, which is used to assist the primates in becoming acquainted to the area and allows the Riverside staff and volunteers to monitor the troop for two weeks, following their introduction to the enclosure. The fence was removed two weeks after the baboons were released into it.
