In a daring daylight heist, a troop of baboons managed to outsmart a group of geese and steal their precious eggs. This captivating scene was captured by a vigilant observer at Sweni Hide and shared with Latest Sightings.
Nestled in the heart of Kruger National Park, Sweni Hide offers a prime viewing spot for wildlife enthusiasts. On a seemingly typical day, visitors were witnessed an extraordinary sighting involving baboons and geese.
The baboons approached the area, seemingly uninterested in the protective geese guarding their nest.
Suddenly, in a swift move, a baboon snatched some eggs from the nest. The geese reacted immediately, honking and flapping their wings in a futile attempt to chase the intruder away.
While the geese were distracted by the one baboon stealing their eggs, another took the opportunity to sneak into their nest and steal more eggs.
In next to no time, the baboons retreated with the mother goose hot on their tails, but sadly the geese, although distressed, could do little to reclaim their eggs. The baboons were too agile and determined for the geese to fend off and ultimately the baboons managed to retreated to a safe distance to enjoy their spoils.
