摘要

The one is completely stationary in its vegetative state, the other a very agile mammal. Both often prefer rocky surrounds of mountains and hills where they find protection, shelter and essential nourishment to stay alive. Encounters are inevitable ... and life and death go hand in hand.In their monograph on Lithops, the Coles deal with a number of predators that, to a greater or lesser extent, pose a threat to Lithops populations in the wild. Among the mammals, they note the possibility that baboons, living in less arid areas, "... maysometimes eat Lithops" (Cole 2005, 53). This has been echoed by a number of farmers we met on our trips to see Lithops in the wild. On visiting the only known population of Lithops pseudotruncatella subsp/var elisabethiae CI87 in May 2009, the farm owner even told us that no plants had been observed for about ten years since "baboons have the habit of digging up everything".The Chacma baboon {Papio ursinus) (Fig 29.1) has a wide distribution in southern Africa, ranging from dense woodland, savanna and steppes to sub-desert regions. In Namibia they occur from all along the north-south central escarpment eastward up to the border with Botswana. These primates are extremely dexterous with their hands that closely resemble those of a human. Their intense curiosity is proverbial and most likely the cause why they literally will not leave a stone unturned. They are omnivorous and prefer "fruits, while also eating insects, seeds, grass and also smaller vertebrate animals" (Wikipedia 2013). Richardson (2010) on Arkive website it describes their diet as "varied and opportunistic", also including bulbs, roots and shoots. Succulentplants are not particularly mentioned but we have witnessed their involvement with Lithops on a few occasions.
