Swamp Troop is a tale of tragedy and triumph, fatherhood and friendship in a troop of baboons that inhabit the watery world of Botswana’s Okavango Delta. Against the dramatic backdrop of riverine forests and wildlife-rich floodplains, Swamp Troop takes us into the heart of baboon society. We meet Boro, the troop’s alpha male, who brutally dispatches rivals, and jealously guards mating rights with fertile females. In a land where baboons must swim to survive, winter floods bring peril. They also bring a dangerous stranger that threatens Boro and his infants.
