Baboons are very seldom seen in open grasslands. They never travel too far from their sleeping spots, not more than 1 or 2 kilometers, but they normally have more than one of these sleeping-sites, within their territory, that they use on a rotation basis. Spending most of the daylight hours on the ground, Baboons are very exposed to predators, Leopard in particular. They have a very good hearing and eyesight.
Baboons are always on the alert, very often associating with other animals, like Impala.
Adult males can weigh up to 35Kg and their life span is about 18 years. DIET Baboons are omnivorous, feeding on fruit, roots, leaves, grass, flowers, insects, lizards, birds and their eggs. They might even kill the new borns of some antelope and even Leopard cubs. All rights reserved.
