Sauvignon Blanc Loving Baboons Plaguing Exclusive Suburbs of Cape Town
Groot Constantia, in the heart of Cape Town's wine country, can deal with inebriated holidaymakers but it is invading baboons which have developed a taste for its grapes that the wine makers are struggling with. Each day, dozens of Cape Baboons gather to strip the ancient vines the sauvignon blanc grapes are a particular favourite before heading into the mountains to sleep. A few, who sample fallen fruit that has fermented in the sun, pass out and don't make it home. Others? Go on rampages through the houses, creating total chaos. Posted by: Frozen Al 2010-08-30 |
