Female baboon attacked
Category: Primate Rescue/Rehabilitation | Date: Feb 12 2007 | By: admin
This morning we were called by the local vet to go and pick up a female baboon from a housing area about 2 km away. She was lying on the ground surrounded by people when we got there. We sedated her using a blow dart and brought her back to the Trust’s vet clinic for examination. She had been hit a number of times with sticks or rocks and was in a very poor state. Perhaps she was trying to steal food from peoples houses or fields. She is very old. We put her on a glucose drip and treated her with antibiotics. She is now stabilized but it is not certain if she will survive the night.

My name is Gwili Gibbon. I'm Assistant Manager at The Colobus Trust. I am a British ex-volunteer who returned to work at the Trust after university, truly a dream come true. I joined in October 2007 and work hard to do what we can with our limited budget and small, but hardworking, team of volunteers and staff. I am using the experience I have gained through my education (& time here) and intend to use it to do all I can to ensure the survival of Colobus angolensis palliatus and it's associated habitats.
