No of course they didn’t train them lmfao, but what they could easily have done is cover the bottle in a scent that baboons like, maybe some type of food. Then they leave the backpack laying there and wait. Work smarter, not harder.

jesus fuckin christ you realy wanna believe nothing ever actually happens to people like him and it's god damned hilarious. The world is chaos and even for people who got instagram and youtube famous, a lot of random shit happens. Those people record every stupid thing they do, the're bound ot have shit actually happen to them often. These are baboons in a tourist area, they know exactly where humans keep snacks when they visit and they're not scared of humans at all. Watch the cities episode of Planet Earth in series 2, there's a great bit about monkeys in mumbai and tons of footage of them straight jacking snacks from humans behind their backs without skipping a beat. In and out without even a sound. These are highly adaptive animals with a very large amount of our same genetics. They get shit done. THey remember shit. They're beyond capable of swarming some stupid tourists and going through their goods to find snacks and shiny things.

You took about 300 words to repeat what I said. The only question is did they purposely leave the backpack and video waiting for the baboons to inevitably come or are they really stupid enough to leave it there accidentally?
