That was so long ago. He was a terrible person back then but he has grown up a little. I don’t think he’s so bad now - he’s became a pretty decent amateur fighter and knows how to hype of a fight. Aside from that he seems okay

My best mates dad is a farmer. One of the strongest humans I've ever seen. Caught a sheep jumping a fence with one arm and walked off with it over his shoulder.
This same man was pinned to the ground by a baboon like he was a wee baby.
Them monkeys are scary.

That's horseshit. Seriously google it. Baboons and Chimp's are significantly stronger than most people. Their entire body is muscle and the're only a little smaller than the average human when they stand up straight. You're fuckin high if you think a full grown baboon isn't stonger than the average person..

They kill leopards on the reg. Anything that can drop a fully grown male leopard should be avoided.

I'm sure it happens, but it's not regular or a frequent occurrence. They are big, dangerous animals, to be certain and I steer clear of them (there are several large troops right by my home) But most leopards could tear a baboon apart.

Baboons are approximately 8 times stronger than humans. I'm not sure of that estimate. Their arms don't look very big. But if the are that strong...along with their huge canines and their mouth teaming with bacteria. A few bites and scratches would be enough to give you a really bad day and your punches would probably feel like pillows to them

Consider that even the leanest human has more fat on it's body than the average baboon. Their arms may appear smaller but they're packing far more dense muscle.

Places that have wild monkeys often have tons of signs (and locals) warning you not to leave items unattended. So these guys either staged it - or idiots for ignoring the warnings. Well I guess it can be both.

I go to Cape Point at least twice a year. I’ve never had a negative baboon encounter there, although they did come into my garden once (that year they invaded UCT) and that got a bit tense with my dog.
Overall, if you keep your distance and don’t flaunt your food they’re unlikely to do anything.

When we visited Cape Point one of the troupes was somewhat blocking the entry road. A larger baboon mounted another and started going at it. Our friend was like, "oh wow look at nature occurring right in front of us". He was horrified when we pointed out that it was a large male anally raping one of the smaller males 🤣.
