The Chacma Baboon, also called the Cape Baboon, is one of the largest monkeys. These baboons are friendly and rowdy. They have many of what are considered 'human-like' behavioral traits. The bond between a baboon mother and her child is extraordinary. 

Because they habitually turn over stones in search of suitable food, it's pretty easy to identify where a troop has been foraging.

The Chacma Baboons often sleep in large groups in tall trees or on high cliffs or rocks to avoid nighttime predators. In the morning, their movement dispersal from the sleeping location is synchronized, and all leave together. Often, dispersal is started by a single baboon, and the other group members decide whether or not to follow. Chacma Baboons that are more involved with the group by spending more time with each other and assisting in grooming are more likely to be followed by the other baboons during the morning dispersal.  

Baboons are known for their high level of intelligence and problem-solving abilities. Therefore they are a symbol of knowledge and wisdom. They live in large social groups with strong social bonds. As a result, Baboons symbolize social order and community.

Baboons are known for adapting to their environment and developing innovative solutions to problems and are a symbol of creativity and resourcefulness. They are also known for their physical strength and endurance, symbolizing perseverance and determination in the face of adversity.
