Papio ursinus
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Nkasa Rupara National Park, aggregated onto a 25 km grid. A cell is matched by its centre, which can sit up to 16 km outside the boundary, so this covers the surrounding country too.
Occurrence records measure where people looked and found something, which is not the same as where the animal is. This is a relative likelihood, not a probability.
Records exist for March, with the widest coverage in March. A quiet month can mean the animal was absent, or that nobody was looking.
A grid cell is a square of the map, not a sighting: 3 squares of 25 km carry records for Chacma Baboon in and around Nkasa Rupara National Park, and the 4 records behind them were collected by other people and published openly. Nothing here counts animals, and a place with more records is not always a place with more animals.
Kruger National Park, the Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park are among the 25 atlas places where the Chacma Baboon is recorded. Its 364 records concentrate in eight countries, most frequently across South Africa, Namibia and Botswana, as well as Zimbabwe and Zambia. This mammal, known as Papio ursinus, appears in the atlas as a widespread presence across its southern African range.
Of the 15 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Nkasa Rupara National Park, the Chacma Baboon is the 8th most recorded.
