If the Lion is King of the Jungle, the baboon must be the King of Mountain Passes in the Western Cape. One word can sum them up - Shrewd. They hang around the picnic spots expecting to find food. It is illegal to feed them now so this one is forraging on what he should be eating. You don't want to tangle with one of these though as they have large teeth - generally they will avoid people though if they can.
