Baboon Kills Hare

Category: Mammals | Date: Mar 21 2007 | By: tumaren

Kerry and I just saw a baboon with a Cape Hare that it had killed. Our neighbor Sammy Jessel says that he has seen them on several occasions chase down and eat Hares. He said that they do not usually work as a team but rather it is usually just a large male that runs it down - Rather impressive since our dogs which are rather fast can’t seem to catch the hares they love to chase after. jamie
