Pictures: Facebook / CLAW and Minouise Vd Merwe After being on the loose in Joburg’s suburbs for seven weeks, Jeffrey is safe, fed and relatively unstressed.
Multiple reports and sightings flooded local community Facebook pages last weekend after a baboon was spotted in Northcliff and Emmarentia on Saturday and Sunday.
Animal welfare group Claw’s (Community Led Animal Welfare) Cora Baily said in a Facebook post last week that “it is not easy to trap and relocate these animals, but we have been successful in many cases. We rely on residents to give us sightings, including time and location pin.”
