South Africa Update: Baboons in the House

Susan messaged me in the very wee hours last night (for me 3 am, 10 am for her) — they had stayed in the mountains overnight on their way to Kloof and had an early morning visitor in the house, in the form of a hungry baboon. Said baboon apparently stole some bread then proceeded to eat it while sitting on a rock just outside a window while the amazed humans watched as they ate their own breakfast.

The alleged thief then slid of the rock … not sure what happened to him/her next as that was it for the story — except for a weird lesson in afrikaans vocabulary which then followed:

“Mooi = pretty or attractive”

I will keep that in mind Susan. Thanks.

Then I was told that baboons with “big prominent red arses are female.” Which, of course, has to be true. Mother nature is a wicked woman.

Till next time. This has been your South Africa Update.
