“Baboon, Cape (Papio porcarius). Also known to H********* as Chacma; Amazosa, Infene; Zulus and Swazis, Imfena; Basuto Tshweni. Found throughout South Africa to the Zambesi River, in bare, rocky, mountainous country. Feeds on wild fruit, insects, berries, young leaves and sap from certain trees. When driven by hunger, will raid orchards and vegetable gardens. Chief weapons of defence are extremely powerful jaw and well-developed canine teeth. As member of a troop is a formidable fighter. Yellow brown body, face smoky-black” (Rosenthal 1967:30).
