Cape Town, South Africa is grappling with a growing issue as baboon troops descend upon the affluent suburb of Simon's Town, located on the slopes of Table Mountain National Park. The baboons, specifically the chacma baboons (Papio ursinus), are causing havoc in the Waterfall ravine, descending en masse to raid the naval barracks.

A baboon monitor, armed with a paintball gun, attempts to intervene, but their efforts prove futile as the troop continues their destructive activities. The monitors manage to relocate some baboons, but others venture into the surrounding suburb, leading to 25 documented raids between June 11 and July 11. The Cape Baboon Partnership, a coalition of concerned citizens, has established a WhatsApp group to inform residents about the troop's movements.

Cape Town officials are now under pressure to devise a solution to mitigate the baboon population's impact on the local community.
