Waterholes are a source of life in the bushveld; however, one at Sweni Hide in the Kruger National Park recently became a hive of frantic activity and destruction when a troop of cunning baboons invaded the tranquil home of a group of geese.
The chacma baboon has a diverse and flexible diet that includes grass, seeds, fruits, mushrooms, lizards, insects, hares, and eggs. Two baboons approached a nest by a rocky outcrop alongside the river by Sweni Hide with this delicacy in mind: eggs.
The baboons arrived by the river, marching in with all authority, in full view of the game viewers and the unsuspecting geese.
