Videos of wild animals often leave us spine chilled. A recent video that has surfaced online shows a group of baboons attacking a leopard in the middle of the road.
The incident traces back to Skukuza town in South Africa. The group of around 50 baboons attacked a leopard, bringing the traffic to a halt. The video of the incident has gone viral.
The video opens up to show a remote road with slowed traffic. The video then moves to show a leopard moving along the side of the road. It seems as if the leopard was searching for its prey. The leopard slowly walks through the grass and suddenly jumps onto the street.
The group of baboons starts running away from the leopard in the beginning. However, one baboon marches towards the leopard instead of running away. Following its lead, the group of around 50 baboons attack the leopard all together and fight it mercilessly.
Meanwhile, the traffic on the road comes to a complete halt until the animals fully empty the road. The video of the incident was shared on YouTube by a page named ‘Latest Sightings’. Take a look at the video here:
Upon being shared just a couple of days back, the video has already garnered over 1.2 million views. A lot of bewildered netizens took to the comments section of the post to express their amazement at the incident.
The comments included, “That prime baboon was something special he ran the same way with courage to attack that massive leopard, honestly they both are brave,” “The one baboon that charged the Leopard rather than running away needs a medal. I also didn’t know Babons got so big. Incredible footage,” and so on.
