Join a troop of 24 chacma baboons who live by a shimmering saltwater lagoon in the southern tip of South Africa's De Hoop Nature Reserve. Led by a dominant alpha male, they sleep on nearby cliffs, forage through fynbos plains, and raise their babies. It's a successful strategy for these adaptable primates, built around food, family, and social hierarchy.
