They’ve managed to get over the guard and climb the tree at the front, destroying it.

@akasha She’s literally perched in the tree - knowing the male’s too top heavy to achieve such acrobatic feats.

@akasha that's new...how did they manage that!

@akasha Also, I believe the male baboon is Jabari. From the photo, it appears he has at least four females in his harem (others may be out of shot; and I hesitate whether to count the female at the summit).

@Zoofan15 That is Jabari's usual area. Azizi usually sits at the top of the hill.

@Jambo He’s an impressive looking male. Melako (2017) will be developing his cape in the coming years and taking on his own harem as Jabari and Azizi age.
