A Day in the Life of a Baboon | Animals with Cameras | BBC Earth

As the new day dawns, we get our first glimpse into the lives of these secretive animals. They slept in the trees for safety. Now they're sunbathing to warm up. That's beautiful footage, yeah. She's having a good look at it, isn't she? So this is basically her eyes now? Yeah. Whatever we see now, it's like through their eyes. Yeah. Considering this has only been on overnight, she's not bothered by it, is she? Not at all. So this one is grooming now. Grooming is where they socialise, so I think she might be a more dominant female. It's wonderful to finally see the baboon's world. But will this teach Leah and Reno how to keep them off the crops? Oh, fence. Not even jumping over it, just going through it. Yeah, just straight through. She pulled it down and she went through. It's like it's not even there. These fences, to be honest, I don't think you're going to stop them at all. Does anything put the baboons off? One of our cameras gives us a clue. Which suggests that they don't like being in it. That's definitely something that we can think about in terms of the crops. Leah thinks an empty space around the crops would be a better barrier than a fence. And soon we get more inside information. The baboons are digging for water. It's dry season, so the rivers have dried up. But there is an easier way to get a drink. Why bother digging when there's a water trough? Has the camera gone underwater? Yeah. Is it waterproof? Have to be. It gives Leah another idea. I'm just thinking about, you know, keeping water points away from the crops. Because maybe having a water close to the crops is, you know, drawing them in.
