How many times do I have to repeat myself? This was not done by a single baboon! Not even by two and this is not a working dog! Ah! I'm the one living in lala land?

"Birinci's Flintis (also known as Flenters) was out of Pinarbasi's Tamum (Charlie) and sired by Ulash of Tokat imported from Turkey. Little did Louise Emanuel know when she bred this pup that he would one day be famous around the globe. Born in March of 1994 and then donated to the Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia, Flintis earned his fame by defending his stock against a troop of baboons. Flintis was placed with Mr. Johann Coetzee who had reported severe losses of lambs and kids due to the neighboring cheetah population. Mr. Coetzee named him Flenters meaning "rags" and as a six week old pup placed him with lambs and goats about his size.
Flintis grew and began to become more and more watchful and responsible for his herd. He would keep them in the shade when it was hot, lead them from place to place in the pasture and ward off predators including jackals, caracals and baboons. Baboons are some of the most deadly predators in the whole of Africa. Their razor sharp teeth are designed for slashing and tearing, they have extraordinary speed, agility and power and they work in troops making their ferocity all the more enhanced. Male baboons typically weigh 70-90 lbs and are capable of incredible speed. When dog meets baboon, it is expected that the dog will die.

In December of 1995 (Flintis was only 20 months old), Flintis was on guard in the sweltering heat of the African summer with temperatures nearing 100 degrees. A troop of baboons came near the corral holding lambs and kids. Flintis assumed a protective position but the two dominant male baboons continued coming. Flintis stood his ground. Flintis' herdsman, Mattias, heard the noise of the fight and ran to tell Mr. Coetzee. By the time the reached the area of the fight, the first baboon was dead and Flintis was in fighting with the second. This fight covered over a mile in area. When Mattias and Coetzee reached the location of the fight the second baboon lay dead and Flintis blood-soaked body lay motionless as well. His back had been slashed open to the bone and he was barely alive.

Coetzee carried Flintis back to the shade and began tending his wounds before carrying him home. After five days of intensive antibiotic treatments, no food or drink and low expectations, Flintis began to come around. Eight days after the attack, Flintis was trying to rejoin his herd. In a few more days he was allowed to return to the herd and he continued his recovery in the company of his charges."

Baboon attacks dogs, caretaker
Posted Image
Thula Makoa and the female Rottweiler, bearing its injuries. Beside them is Reverend Moeketsi Mototjane, of the Holy Cross Anglican Church in Nyanga.
"An alleged stray baboon attack has left both master and man’s best friend nursing a bruised ego and a broken left hind leg, respectively.

According to Thuso Makoa, the incident took place in the early hours of Sunday.

“I was sitting by the fire when I heard a strange sound and I went to investigate. It was as if someone had dropped something over the fence. As I was walking in an alley, I couldn’t believe my eyes.”

Makoa said there, in front of him, was a baboon with a chain around its waist.

Then it lunged at him, he said.

“I turned around and ran for my life, and hid in one of the alleys,”

“As the dogs chased the animal around the yard, I managed to scramble to my room where, after a few minutes, I heard one of the dogs yelping in pain. As Makoa opened the door of his room, he said he saw one of the guard dogs, a female Rottweiler, rushing towards him, dragging its left hind leg and in obvious pain. He said he stayed in his room until daybreak as he was too scared to even save the dog from the attacker.

Makoa is still visibly shaken by the ordeal, days after the alleged attack.

“I wanted to save it(the dog), but I was too afraid and I hid in my room until around 5am,” he recalled.

He said that he was so terrified that he couldn’t fall asleep on the night as he wondered what could have happened to his two dogs.

“In the morning, when I decided to look for the dogs, I could only find the male, and as I searched further, found the female lying on the ground, injured and unable to move. I was heartbroken to see her lying(down) like that,” said Makoa.

Makoa, who works as a caretaker at the Holy Cross Anglican Church in Nyanga, said the dogs were donated by businessman Peter Motale two years ago after the facility had become a target of burglars and vandals."
