Chacma baboons live throughout southern Africa. They range from South Africa north to Angola, Zambia, and Mozambique. These animals inhibit a wide array of habitats, such as woodland, savanna, steppes, and sub desert and along the grassy alpine slopes of the Drakensberg to the Kalahari Desert.

During the night, they sleep atop steep hills, high cliffs, rocks, or in large trees. This keeps them safe from nocturnal predators, like leopards. Also known as the Cape baboon, it is from the Old World monkey family. It is one of the largest of all monkeys.

They have a wide variety of social behaviors. These include a dominance hierarchy and collective foraging. Females adopt young, and they also form friendship pairings. These behaviors form parts of a complex ecology.

In general, they are not threatened. Human population pressure has increased contact between humans and baboons. Hunting, trapping, and accidents kill or remove many baboons from the wild.

The chacma baboon is an omnivore, and highly opportunistic feeder. It will eat practically anything. Foods include fruits, seeds, grass, blossoms, bulbs, bark, insects, and spiders. They also consume worms, grubs, rodents, birds, small antelopes and fungi.

They live in small groups called troops. Multiple adult males, adult females and their offspring form these troops. Females produce a single infant during each birth cycle.
