Field Notes

Description:

These guys were pretty destructive to our camp site. Very fun to watch though... so smart and human-like it's somewhat scary with those huge canines they are equipped with!

Habitat:

Found throughout much of southern Africa in wooded highlands, grassland steppe, and savanna habitats.

Reference Links:

EOL: Papio ursinus
