The Harpactira Cafreriana or Cape Copper Baboon is a less common species in the hobby. Like most baboons, this species can be a little defensive. Some consider this species to be โsemi-fossorialโ as they enjoy digging near the surface, creating webbed tubes and tunnels. Theyโre also known for their beautiful coloration and bright coppery carapace โ this baboon is a great addition for any collection!๐งก๐๐ป
