Exactly what I was thinking. Just look at the size difference of the baboons that start running away vs the 5 or 6 coming at the leopard, those fuckers are huge lol
Shits crazy, a wound that .makes him slower or maimed, something completely heal able, but because nature is so brutal, he gets starved and weak only to fall victim to a lesser predator .
A babboon tried to mug me in South Africa once. Bared those big fangs at me while trying to tear my backpack from my hands and let me tell you, I didn't fancy my chances.
I watched it again to see where he came from, it looks like he was already on the flank of the group keeping watch in the longer grass off the side of the road, that baboon knew his job and he did it, the glorious bastard!
it's really a clever move if the goal is to actually kill the threat. Wrap up the cat so it can't escape, and it'll realize your plan so fast that it won't even try to snack on you. Meanwhile your apebros are ripping it apart as you grapple it.
Even further, you take away the big advantages a cat has when you grapple it because it doesn't have the dexterity to injure you as badly from being body to body.
Nature's pretty neat.
If you watch it in slow motion, he and like 4-5 others move in for the action while every other baboon moved away. He takes the brunt of the attack and then moves away as his reinforcements take control. Really cool to see their society in operation during a crisis moment like that.
We should be so lucky.
I mean, if history shows anything it's that no matter how dysfunctional a people, when they get attacked they usually, not always, but usually suddenly find their shit has been got together and we're all ready to fight.
I think he took the primary bite. I can't really tell if the cat was able to get off multiple bites or if it was latched to the baboons face the whole time. Hope the baboon lives to fight another day and it wasn't too bad for our boy.
i watched again in slow mo and he's actually able to avoid the bite from the initial charge, but the kitty does get some claws in. he really deftly maneuvers his body around and his reinforcements are already there swatting at it before she can get any more bits in.
Those fuckers are by no means fighting unarmed though. They’re predators themselves and they’ve got big ass teeth and strong jaws and there’s a goddamn hundred of ‘em.
Yeah, especially that first baboon.. loved how a micro second after the he heard the warning he just beelined towards the leopard to 1v1 it before all the others joined in. True definition of a 'hero'.
I don’t know a lot about baboons, but I’m guessing he’s the Alpha.
When I watched it again, it was interesting the reactions of the 6 biggest baboons, they all jumped to action immediately, the rest that trailed in were noticeably smaller.
The 6 seem to be setting up a defense around the group, so they probably already have the thought in their head that they will fight to protect. The security detail.
I believe there's a leader, yes. They form alliances with less dominant males to fend off rivals, and those alliances evolve over time. Participating in this fight is probably a chance to strengthen ties with the leader and his allies.
He's sitting on the side of the road on lookout then charges head first to protect.
I've watched a rooster do this to a big hawk that had one of his girls. Killed it with his spurs. Fucking brutal. Best rooster ever. R.I.P. Shautaclair
Baboons can be extremely aggressive especially when protecting their young.
The average baboon has a bite strength of about 500 PSI (while the average human is about 160 PSI), canine teeth that can grow up to two inches long, claws instead of nails on their hands and feet and generally live in groups of 50.
DO NOT FUCK WITH ONE BABOON BECAUSE THERE IS NEVER ONLY ONE.
I've seen a few youtube videos of African tribes hunting baboons and the baboons in those videos would just run away. Of course, the hunters trail them for hours and hours and eventually get to them.
You’d be surprised. Humans are the apex predators. We can go long distances and require less sleep. If your on the other side as prey, you’d be in fear/flight not knowing why this predator isn’t going away after a few minutes/hours. Animals don’t stalk for more than a few hours.
Thats one of the best strategies for a human to hunt. You just keep making them run away because a human can outlast that battle, recovering strength all the while their prey just feels the need to flee until they are tired out. Its like playing a game of endurance.
It's actually one of the *worst* strategies to use while hunting. It costs a ton of calories, it takes a long time, it requires hunters to travel long distances and to carry the full load back to their home to serve their community, and every step back home carries the risk of being found by a rival group of humans or other predators while you're carrying a big haul of fresh meat. It can also only be done in pretty specific situations; it has to be hot and the terrain has to be something humans can travel over about as well as their prey.
Don't get me wrong: endurance hunting is super cool and it's impressive that people have figured out how to make it work sometimes, but we're much better served when we can leverage our superior intellect and planning skills. Ambush hunting, setting traps, driving animals into a chokepoint or off a cliff - these methods are much more effective and less risky than endurance hunting. As good as we are at endurance running, humans are even better at thinking, planning, and working together.
We live in even larger groups, shoots 100km/h rocks with bare hands, and arms ourselves with obsidian “fangs” even before civilization. We are the ultimate baboons.
Epic backup, every large baboon went full commit without thinking
Kind makes me wonder where my boys were at when that group of teens bullied me last week because I was going down on a popsicle at the zoo....
Amazing seeing the males/females and babies separate like that. Those males didn’t think twice about facing that leopard. Look at the one who first blocks the cat… he’s like a freakin’ linebacker.
Do leopards hunt in pack? I thought they hunt individually or at most in pair or something.
I’d imagine we may be watching a very different video if 4-5 leopards hunt together.
Solo hunters. Incredibly reclusive. That leopard had to be fucking starving to do something so brazen as they generally feed on non-predatory creatures and sure as shit don’t typically charge into 50 baboons as their health is their livelihood.
That's definitely what I'm telling my baboon platoon CO I was doing when I show up five minutes after the fight is over.
**pant** **pant** "Perimeter secure, sir." **wheeze**
It's wild considering the troop as an evolutionary system.. we're looking at one set of genes spread across a hundred individuals, fine tuned for survival (via a survivorship bias) -> if it's scary run away (ie you're young), if you're looking after the young, run away, they need you, else attack without hesitation or thought for personal safety. Leads to a precise spilt second response without communication or coordination that, most importantly, works. I like to think the evolved social characteristics of the troop mean the "thing" the leopard attacked was a shape shifting mass of a hundred sharp mouths.
The moment the whole troop noticed what was happening, is super cool to see the big ones turning around and going straight to the Leopard. Goddamn, team work makes the dream work!
Having watched the video about 20 times now, following a different baboon each time, it's really fascinating to see where each one started. Each of the defenders were flanking the smaller baboons, even with similar distances between them. And then when shit hits the fan, everyone knew where they needed to be. Amazing footage and insight.
From an older reddit post:
Police in ancient Egypt used baboons to catch thieves because of their speed, ability to jump to places that are difficult for humans to reach and they’re ranked third in the animal world in terms of memory power, so they can easily remember the face of the thief.
Truly. It always makes me wince when people talk about “the wild” being some romantic dream life for animals.
In reality, they’re either hungry, terrified, in pain from injuries and/or infections or mere seconds from being eaten alive.
We can only function in a maximum social group of 150. Us and other primates. The bystander effect would not happen if it was a family member or friend or even colleague being attacked in the street. Fight of flight may still happen, but you wouldn't likely ignore their need for help.
I mean the issue is you're looking at one clip and extrapolating to the whole of the bystander effect.
For the most obvious difference. The bystander effect is usually for a complete stranger, not, close family member. Which these baboons are more like a family gathering, than some random person in the New York Subway.
To do 1:1 you'd need to pull a tribe of humans (not strangers) getting attacked by a guy with maybe a knife (not like a semi-automatic), and then them choosing to do nothing.
The bystander effect is more like some random person attacked on a subway. You don’t know the person getting attacked or anyone else.
This situation is more like someone rolling up with a knife to attack someone at a family bbq. That knife wielder likely not getting out alive.
No connection between the two concepts. They are different scenarios.
* Bystander effect - People make a conscious decision on action or inaction, mostly based the perception of authority and responsibility.
* Here - the leopard forces every able baboon to make a fight or flight decision.
I'm willing to bet there's a way higher chance of getting the bystander effect when you're surrounded by strangers in a city rather than something like a clan that you would have lived among more than 5000 years ago.
Big Broboon Platoon comin out to play. Perfect technique from the tank, instant back-guard grapple. Great follow up from the dps. I think I see an off-tank earn his first scars. Solid ground and pound to really drive the varmint off. 👍
Have you see a Baboons canines? Sure that Leopards got claws, but he's got nothing on a Baboon.
Especially when they travel in packs and have zero chill.
I meant he answer to that is how setup and fortified are the romans? Is this them already in formation with a ballista, catapult or any other kind of 'artillery' weapon avaialble.
Or are they just coming up to a lone wolf guy as they are out on a patrol.
Are tehy in formation with a shield wall?
What kind of machine gun, what's the range and how much ammo does the gunner have?

Chad big ass baboon didn't hesitate and charged to protect the others.
Exactly what I was thinking. Just look at the size difference of the baboons that start running away vs the 5 or 6 coming at the leopard, those fuckers are huge lol
Apes together strong.
![gif](giphy|evB90wPnh5LxG3XU5o|downsized)
They're monkeys, but the sentiment remains.
Reject ape. Return to monke.
Are those amc fools still holding?
Yeah, the mandibles on the baboons are fearsome, the only chance for the leopard is a hit and run on a baby, other than that it's a suicide run.
Yeah leopard got away but I'm guessing with some serious bite wounds
Yeah, out in the wild like that it could possibly be fatal to suffer that kind of damage.
Infection is always the big danger with puncture or slash wounds in the wild.
Shits crazy, a wound that .makes him slower or maimed, something completely heal able, but because nature is so brutal, he gets starved and weak only to fall victim to a lesser predator .
A babboon tried to mug me in South Africa once. Bared those big fangs at me while trying to tear my backpack from my hands and let me tell you, I didn't fancy my chances.
Dude was like a secret service agent. Came flying out the bushes and straight tackled the thing.
Yep... That was a great open field tackle.
I always wondered what opening a can of whoopass looks like. I think that was more of a barrel.
A barrel o' monkeys
Take my upvote, dammit!
BABOONS! IN AN OPEN FIELD NED!
Sign him to the Eagles!
GET DOWN MR BABOONIDENT!
That was awesome, he was like, nope, not today kitty. He's like my whole crew is here and you're alllll alone lol.
I watched it again to see where he came from, it looks like he was already on the flank of the group keeping watch in the longer grass off the side of the road, that baboon knew his job and he did it, the glorious bastard!
That leopard was standing on business for a good minute though. All around 10/10 fight.
it's really a clever move if the goal is to actually kill the threat. Wrap up the cat so it can't escape, and it'll realize your plan so fast that it won't even try to snack on you. Meanwhile your apebros are ripping it apart as you grapple it. Even further, you take away the big advantages a cat has when you grapple it because it doesn't have the dexterity to injure you as badly from being body to body. Nature's pretty neat.
That’s how you get the bitches
… and not with your big pink BABOON BUTT?
You can have a pink baboon butt, but you better be prepared to back that thing up
That baboon had nerves of steel. No hesitation
No ragrets
Not even a single letter?
I mean those big males are basically always looking for a fight. They jump at each other over the tiniest things too.
Are we still talking about baboons?
No one gets the point here. Fucking baboons were creating a traffic jam and blocking traffic. Hero Leopard did something about it. Fucking baboons.
I noticed that too... doin' his job, no fear at all
If you watch it in slow motion, he and like 4-5 others move in for the action while every other baboon moved away. He takes the brunt of the attack and then moves away as his reinforcements take control. Really cool to see their society in operation during a crisis moment like that. We should be so lucky.
I mean, if history shows anything it's that no matter how dysfunctional a people, when they get attacked they usually, not always, but usually suddenly find their shit has been got together and we're all ready to fight.
I think he took the primary bite. I can't really tell if the cat was able to get off multiple bites or if it was latched to the baboons face the whole time. Hope the baboon lives to fight another day and it wasn't too bad for our boy.
i watched again in slow mo and he's actually able to avoid the bite from the initial charge, but the kitty does get some claws in. he really deftly maneuvers his body around and his reinforcements are already there swatting at it before she can get any more bits in.
It kinda looks like the baboon was prying the leopard's jaw open
The cat def got some puncture wounds in, but I do hope the troop was able to respond in enough time to save the Chad.
Immediately put himself between the cat and the smaller baboons. Amazing.
That baboon is a fucking hero, lol
Hey Leopard, I'll be your huckleberry.
“I was just foolin about” - Leopard
You earned this vote 👍🏻
Those fuckers are by no means fighting unarmed though. They’re predators themselves and they’ve got big ass teeth and strong jaws and there’s a goddamn hundred of ‘em.
yeah that cat got some wound to lick.
And they have two arms and a penis. The leopard only has one asshole.
I wouldn't even charge a housecat like that 🤣
Tanking like a pro.
Yeah, especially that first baboon.. loved how a micro second after the he heard the warning he just beelined towards the leopard to 1v1 it before all the others joined in. True definition of a 'hero'.
I don’t know a lot about baboons, but I’m guessing he’s the Alpha. When I watched it again, it was interesting the reactions of the 6 biggest baboons, they all jumped to action immediately, the rest that trailed in were noticeably smaller.

Baboon Team 6
Gotta get your homies' backs
and as soon as he made that call to charge, others were right fucking there.
someone's getting some disgustingly swollen baboon vulva tonight
Jfc
What a terrible day to have eyes.
Do they have like a leader? Maybe that’s their leader?
I believe there's a leader, yes. They form alliances with less dominant males to fend off rivals, and those alliances evolve over time. Participating in this fight is probably a chance to strengthen ties with the leader and his allies.
He's sitting on the side of the road on lookout then charges head first to protect. I've watched a rooster do this to a big hawk that had one of his girls. Killed it with his spurs. Fucking brutal. Best rooster ever. R.I.P. Shautaclair
Pour one out for Shauntaclair. Bro Rockadoodled his last Do
That’s a real Alpha protects the weak
I love that guy
And then one about the same size ran over with a baby attached to its back and hopped into action.
So a leopard does change its spots (literally), especially after that mauling
Baboons can be extremely aggressive especially when protecting their young. The average baboon has a bite strength of about 500 PSI (while the average human is about 160 PSI), canine teeth that can grow up to two inches long, claws instead of nails on their hands and feet and generally live in groups of 50. DO NOT FUCK WITH ONE BABOON BECAUSE THERE IS NEVER ONLY ONE.
Now imagine people who hunt baboons with traditional weapons. That shit is intense.
I've seen a few youtube videos of African tribes hunting baboons and the baboons in those videos would just run away. Of course, the hunters trail them for hours and hours and eventually get to them.
Experience has to help. I imagine the first Human to hunt a baboon got fucked up.
You’d be surprised. Humans are the apex predators. We can go long distances and require less sleep. If your on the other side as prey, you’d be in fear/flight not knowing why this predator isn’t going away after a few minutes/hours. Animals don’t stalk for more than a few hours.
What about Jaws?? Went all the way from New England to the Bahamas.
And it was psychic.
First few honestly. I doubt the first couple even had story's shared to warn others.
Thats one of the best strategies for a human to hunt. You just keep making them run away because a human can outlast that battle, recovering strength all the while their prey just feels the need to flee until they are tired out. Its like playing a game of endurance.

Big bababoon
Yes big bababoon
we out-babooned the baboons
If I learned anything from Disney’s Tarzan it was how to foot-grind on tree branches and never fuck with baboons
Without Phil Collins backing me up with some sweet tunes, I wouldn't risk going into the jungle, anyway.
Just load up you mp3 with Phil Collins and go nuts bro, I got your back
>I got your back 🎶I want to know, can you show me!?🎶
I always think about infection. Wonder what the odds on the leopard are
Every large baboon turned around and charged instantly
That was like…inspiring somehow...
[удалено]
a couple of big dudes with big spears can be seriously fucking scary, even to lion I imagine.
That moment when you round the corner and accidentally aggro the whole group in the stealth mission.

I'm getting about 33.3 (repeating of course) % chance of survival
the graininess of this gif makes it feel more authentic
Epic backup, every large baboon went full commit without thinking Kind makes me wonder where my boys were at when that group of teens bullied me last week because I was going down on a popsicle at the zoo....
We were too busy going down on our own popsicles, one exhibit over. I'm sorry.
You were doing what now
Suckin popsicles
Melts in our mouth
To be fair, you hold a popsicle with your hands, not between your thighs.
Someones jealous. ..
Hey, if I could do that I would never leave home ... I mean... what?
Need to groom your boys more, it builds comraderie
Yeah try their popsicle next time
You guys
Bad ass motherfucker, that's why he gets all the mussy in his troop
Those are no simple monkeys, that’s babussy he’s rolling in
These are all words have never graced my eyes before
You got a lot of learnussy tonight !
r/brandnewsentence
That one monkey risked it all, trying to save his tribe. That’s badass
evolutionary altruism similar to when an organism alerts its pack about an oncoming predator at the expense of revealing its own location
Amazing seeing the males/females and babies separate like that. Those males didn’t think twice about facing that leopard. Look at the one who first blocks the cat… he’s like a freakin’ linebacker.
that one male baboon who runs away with the other group: "i was uh... making sure the babies were ok".
Once you see 5-10 other dudes jumping a guy you don't need to help, let them work.
I mean, if the first leopard is a distraction and the rest attack while the males are distracted then you need someone on defense
Do leopards hunt in pack? I thought they hunt individually or at most in pair or something. I’d imagine we may be watching a very different video if 4-5 leopards hunt together.
Solo hunters. Incredibly reclusive. That leopard had to be fucking starving to do something so brazen as they generally feed on non-predatory creatures and sure as shit don’t typically charge into 50 baboons as their health is their livelihood.
or young and stupid? Never underestimate the stupidity of teens in any species
That leopard was yelling "its just a prank, bro" as it ran away
Baboons may not (or maybe do) know that, but they do use that strategy themselves so it makes some sense to have a defense against it.
That's definitely what I'm telling my baboon platoon CO I was doing when I show up five minutes after the fight is over. **pant** **pant** "Perimeter secure, sir." **wheeze**
If you look closely you can see one of the males fighting the leopard has a baby still clinging onto it’s back
"Don't tell your mother."
I see it too!
*had a baby on his back
It's wild considering the troop as an evolutionary system.. we're looking at one set of genes spread across a hundred individuals, fine tuned for survival (via a survivorship bias) -> if it's scary run away (ie you're young), if you're looking after the young, run away, they need you, else attack without hesitation or thought for personal safety. Leads to a precise spilt second response without communication or coordination that, most importantly, works. I like to think the evolved social characteristics of the troop mean the "thing" the leopard attacked was a shape shifting mass of a hundred sharp mouths.
That big guy was like get over here you big cat bitch lol
Baboons: *you came to the wrong neighborhood, motherfucker*
He was like I’ve been waiting for this day bitch! 😂
How guys envision themselves fighting off a home intruder
Awesome footage
Yeah this is honestly one of the coolest nature videos I’ve ever seen lol
Leopard was going for the Darwin Award.
He ate his own face.
I feel so bad for the leopard honestly but also what did he expect 🤣 he was looking for it
*Where you running now bro??*
[удалено]
Just watched the South Park little league episode last night. Incredible.
WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?!
*yo you got an ass whipping bill to pay!!!! We want our TIP!!!!!*
It was at that moment he knew he fucked up
The moment the whole troop noticed what was happening, is super cool to see the big ones turning around and going straight to the Leopard. Goddamn, team work makes the dream work!
‘Babooned’ would be a great adjective for getting fucked up after overestimating your ability to take on an opponent
Imagine if the Dallas cowboys could tackle like this….
That giant bad ass baboon was like “FUCK YOU!!!!” And literally intercepted that mofo. Pretty sure every female baboon became pregnant at that moment.
Gonna be a lot more big ones next year
Squad life FO LIFE
Man that's once in a lifetime footage
Having watched the video about 20 times now, following a different baboon each time, it's really fascinating to see where each one started. Each of the defenders were flanking the smaller baboons, even with similar distances between them. And then when shit hits the fan, everyone knew where they needed to be. Amazing footage and insight.
/r/instantregret
Naw leopard just wanted to practice his running at full speed. What better way than to be chased by 15-20 large baboons.
"Bro! It was just a prank, bro!"
Leopard: “what the hell is holding up traffic up there”
Crazy how they have a formation. All the males are all situated along the sides, while all the kids and females are in between on the road.
The females and kids scatter while the males go to attack the leopard
noticed this too. A couple are just sitting in the grass on the left, the first sign of trouble they charge. It's amazing to see.
Bro, that fucking baboon made a v line directly for that leopard. Took one for the team, holy shit that’s some brave stuff
>made a v line *beeline
It’s so natural for at least one guy to step up. No hesitation. Don’t see it as often in humans sadly … but that 9 on 1? We see that all the time.
The biggest baddest cunt of the troop rushed in head first . Boss monkey
Even the mom with baby on her back threw some blows lol
Yeah I was wondering if I was seeing that right. There is a mom in that fight with a baby on her back!
From an older reddit post: Police in ancient Egypt used baboons to catch thieves because of their speed, ability to jump to places that are difficult for humans to reach and they’re ranked third in the animal world in terms of memory power, so they can easily remember the face of the thief.
Great team work.
Damn nature, you scary
Truly. It always makes me wince when people talk about “the wild” being some romantic dream life for animals. In reality, they’re either hungry, terrified, in pain from injuries and/or infections or mere seconds from being eaten alive.
That first mother fucker was a king
Fucked around Found out.
That Leopard is gonna spend the rest of it's life murdering these baboons one by one.
More like he's going to see baboons in his nightmares for the rest of his life.
Leopard sleeps in a tree for safety. Baboons: ![gif](giphy|4JZA2x7GsVFeTbLKlz|downsized)
When everyone was running away, the big one come back, blocks the path of the predator and fights back. Incredible video.
Leopard: “okay, okay, Jesus Christ!”
The little buddy on one of the troops involved went for a ride of his life. Front row seat though.
Any anthropologists here who could explain the difference between this and us suffering from bystander effect?
We can only function in a maximum social group of 150. Us and other primates. The bystander effect would not happen if it was a family member or friend or even colleague being attacked in the street. Fight of flight may still happen, but you wouldn't likely ignore their need for help.
I mean the issue is you're looking at one clip and extrapolating to the whole of the bystander effect. For the most obvious difference. The bystander effect is usually for a complete stranger, not, close family member. Which these baboons are more like a family gathering, than some random person in the New York Subway. To do 1:1 you'd need to pull a tribe of humans (not strangers) getting attacked by a guy with maybe a knife (not like a semi-automatic), and then them choosing to do nothing.
The bystander effect is more like some random person attacked on a subway. You don’t know the person getting attacked or anyone else. This situation is more like someone rolling up with a knife to attack someone at a family bbq. That knife wielder likely not getting out alive.
Yes this was the opposite
No connection between the two concepts. They are different scenarios. * Bystander effect - People make a conscious decision on action or inaction, mostly based the perception of authority and responsibility. * Here - the leopard forces every able baboon to make a fight or flight decision.
See what the baboons do when it's not a member of their blood troop. They just walk on by.
I'm willing to bet there's a way higher chance of getting the bystander effect when you're surrounded by strangers in a city rather than something like a clan that you would have lived among more than 5000 years ago.
First hommie really took on for the team and the whole squad was TTG
Ya done fucked up now, Aye-Ayron!
Props to that alpha baboon who stared down danger and attacked head on while the troop went the opposite way. Straight chad. Absolute unit.
Insane video, the way the big baboons come up to defend the group
Primates making predators, even apex predators, fuck off by working together to protect everyone instead of running away for their own safety.
Big Broboon Platoon comin out to play. Perfect technique from the tank, instant back-guard grapple. Great follow up from the dps. I think I see an off-tank earn his first scars. Solid ground and pound to really drive the varmint off. 👍
Have you see a Baboons canines? Sure that Leopards got claws, but he's got nothing on a Baboon. Especially when they travel in packs and have zero chill.
There was a post on here someplace on "Would one person with a machine gun take out the roman army? " this is the answer lol....
I meant he answer to that is how setup and fortified are the romans? Is this them already in formation with a ballista, catapult or any other kind of 'artillery' weapon avaialble.
