Morning to our Tokai friends - please be aware that there have been sightings of a baboon (baboons ?) along Orpen Road.

It seems that this baboon may be a young dispersing male and he may making his way through the area as he tries to join a new troop.
Typically, these young males carry on moving through the area and as they may feel a little vulnerable on their own, they do not look for any trouble and normally avoid all conflict.
But baboons are very opportunistic and will take advantage of easy food - so please folks make sure your garbage bins are secure and that there is nothing tempting (like bird feeders, dog food ) lying around.

We do NOT want a repeat case of Dodger who was killed for being a "problem raider"; too many males have been killed in the Tokai / Constantia troops and we have still had no outcome or resolution on the 40 "missing" baboons.
To keep this male safe it is essential that residents ensure he does not get food from your waste bins and homes.
Stay calm if you see him and if you are worried about your dogs lock them up as he moves on through. ... See MoreSee Less

To all our Johannesburg friends - is there anyone who lives near, or goes to the Cambridge shopping centre, Peter Place, Bryanston?
The Book Place has very kindly donated a copy of "My friend the baboons" by Eugene Marais, it is a reprint 1956 edition.
We would like to auction the book when we do our online auction next year, but in the meantime the book does need to be collected. Can anyone help? Please let me know.
Thanks so much
Jenni ... See MoreSee Less
