“As bad as 2020 has become for many people, it started well for us on the first day of the year.” - Trevor Lagerwall, (66) told LatestSightings.com when he shared this incredible sighting of an interaction between baboons and klipspringers.

“My son and I are “Krugerholics”, so in the summer it is always a 4:30am start when the gates open. And that early start had already reaped rewards the previous two days. On the first day a pack of wild dogs trotting on a gravel road for 20 minutes and the second day a small herd of male sable antelopes sparring with each other.”
“We didn’t think our good luck of the previous two days would continue. From Pretoriuskop camp we headed up towards the road known as the Pretoriuskop circle and were lucky to see a beautiful leopard just as the summer birds were beginning their morning chorus. As we came out of the Circle Road, we decided to navigate Manungu mountain. There are almost always baboons on that mountain, and true to form, as I drove past I glibly mentioned to my son, “Baboons.”
My son is a great spotter and responded, “Not just baboons, Dad, but klipspringer too. And not only that but they seem to be having a go at each other!” Of course, I slammed on the brakes to watch the spectacle.”
“I have spent over 500 nights in Kruger Park and had never seen baboons and klipspringers facing off. Even though they often share the same territory I knew this was indeed rare. Even a bushbuck in the distance seemed intrigued. Normally klipspringers are the statues of the Kruger Park mountains but before our eyes, they were in action! The troop of baboons was large and it was mostly the young “teenagers” who were taunting the two klipspringers. Perhaps it was territorial, but to us it seemed more like a game to the baboons. The klipspringers, though, did not seem too impressed and would charge the young baboons any time they got close.”
“To add to the fun, the baboons themselves were having various quarrels with a cacophony of baboon sounds emanating from Manungu mountain. Eventually, the big boss baboon decided it was time to venture down the mountain and explore the greener pastures of the summer veld, much to the relief of the two klipspringers. But for my son and me, it was a feeling of great satisfaction of seeing something so special - an interaction between two species.”
“To all who might want an experience like this, Firstly, get up early. Three early morning outings brought us wild dogs trotting, sable antelope sparring, and then a rare sighting of baboons and klipspringers having a go at each other. Oh, and a fantastic leopard sighting too.
Secondly, drive slowly and don’t think “just baboons” when you see them. Yes, they are always interesting, but on occasions there is the possibility that a leopard might also be close by, or in our case a totally unexpected experience with klipspringers.”

This video made me realize that nature has it's own soundtrack

Fake Justin Y.
Yep
Not a single word spoken - just birdsong. Wonderful!
Bird calls are gorgeous. Never thought there would be an encounter like this.... don't underestimate a stabbing from a buck even though small!
@Not Today asi es en Cali, Colombia todas las mañanas ❤
Hi friend 🤝👍👏🙋🙋🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️...
That klipspringer was definitely protecting his rock. That one baby baboon almost got the point of leaving. Thanks for sharing.
Birds chirping. Bucks passing by. Young ones playing. This place is so serene!! 1:32 Big baboons be like “I don’t like this shit. We got to create some disruption.”
The African Bush can go from peaceful and serene to violent chaos in a split second! Don't underestimate what goes on there!
@Nixon Eli Baboons are naughty ! Carefully calculate how to cause nonsense!
Every time I see baboons, it reminds me of when we went on safari last year and a giant baboon came in through the sliding door of our lodge and just stood in the doorway...my back was facing the door and I only turned around when my husband shouted: "behind you!" I froze for a few seconds before I screamed and dropped the bread rolls I was holding and proceeded to run in the other direction. The baboon then ran towards the rolls and grabbed the packet off the floor, before turning around and jumping out the door! hahah I love African widlife! 😂
😂😂
What makes this video all the more special, it is not your typical "big cat kill video", but a wonderful interaction between two different species that rarely have confrontation. So fascinating to see. And, of course, the natural bush sounds make it all the more special. ❤️ Well done! Bravo! 👌
The baboons are just trying to figure out how to climb on the bucks back. 😂😂
This is truly a wild life orchestra 🎶🎶🎶
This is easily one of Kruger Sightings' best uploads.
Hi friend 🤝...
Relaxing scene and background musical wildlife Wish the show went on
So playful, just hear the bird life!
All i hear is yummi KFC food.

I hate to tell you this, but the birds are chirping calls of warnings of predators & or imminent danger! Not singing blissfully songs! Get some info about wildlife in the jungle!
👌
Someday I want to visit Kruger. I don't care if it's something as sweet as this or a hunt, I just want to see something awesome.
Let us know when you get there!!
@@LatestsightingsJust Make your booking! Start planning the trip....
Baboons are dangerous. These bucks better watch out. The bird calls in this video is music to my ears. ❤️❤️
bucks and boons were babies
Thank you to all the people pointing out the birds in the background, thank you so much!! because without your information, I would have been so lost. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
1:28 that's a one big ass baboon *pun intended* 🧐
This is the first time I see this animal... This type of bucks
hate to say it same lol some much widelife
"Klipspringer" in Afrikaans Language. Directly translates to "Rock Jumper/Climber"
What beautiful bird is that? EDIT: Also I know you took the music out a long time ago but thank you for doing so. It makes everything so much better.
Might be a blue tit or a robin
Alternative title : Birds chirping
Love this as no one got killed
Teenage baboons being silly. That big male at the end needed to put his thingy away LOL
Finally a video where there is no violence, no carnivorous things
Said no one ever 😂
that mother buck needs to watch out ,she might become dinner for baboons
Mother buck?
there was no mother around???
Baboons vs Bucks...Sounds like a NFL Game :))
I like Bucks. They are so cute ❤️ Very chill and beautiful video, thanks ❤️
@Indigenous Lady come on, really ? Go vegan sweetheart
1:57 Is me when I am relaxing on the couch.
In this video, who played the leading role? The birds?
100%

Those little deer looks like a real pokemon.
those bucks r freakin adorable
J'aime te vidéo force et courage pour les risques encourus pour partagé c'est images magnifique.
👍👌🤝🙋🏾♀️
Adorable ❤️!
Hi friend 🤝👍👍👍.........
the skull of Jack The Baboon can be seen in the Albany Museum in Makhanda, E Cape. Jack’s salary as South African Railways signalman on the Uitenhage line (1881-1890) was a few pennies a day and half a bottle of beer a week.
Those horns are amazingly sharp and he knows how to use them.
Does he? Well let them big baboons or wild dogs or hyenas come in picture then we can talk.
@Drew Keenan where are hippos and rhinos dolt?
Meanwhile a bird is giving BGM to the play...😆
I just want to sit nearby and enjoy the bird music...with such sightings
Wow excellent video 👍👍👍
Excellent beautiful ❤️
Assalaimulaikum Rahmatu Allah 🤝👍👁️👁️👁️
That baboon at the end there was just showing off. 🤣
Wow that baboon behind the buck was huge like King Kong...
What a wonderful video! I was expecting the big baboon to make an attempt to grab and eat the little baby gazelle as it backed up closer to him. Baboons are definitely capable of it.
Alternative title : NY vs Milwaukee 😂
Thanks for give us such all beautiful videos. love to your team ❤️
Those birds are music to my ears
so cute those klipspringers. Hope those baboons don't get hungry too soon
Clearly the baboons weren't hungry, the bucks would have been dinner!
Very nice video. The sound of the chirping of birds' is worth listening. Thank you for the video. Love from Calcutta, India..
Stunning sighting. Watching the video it felt to me like I was at one of the picnic spots. The sounds - just amazing. Moes ons Kruger trippie in 2020 kanselleer. Gaan in Mei 2021!!
The right title is "Baboons plays with Bucks"!!! not "Baboons Vs Bucks"!!!
Of course, I've should've known it would be the baboon starting something. Baboon: Get the Buck out of here goat! The buck: Buck off! Mind your own monkey business,
Such ugly creatures. They're the small hats version of the animal kingdom.
You can imagine humans. An upgrade of baboons
aw this one was super cute
They're called Dik Dik. Miniature antelopes
The more videos I see baboons in the less I like em. They remind me of dealing with the vast majority of people.
❤️ All the 🐦 sounds
Thank you for sharing
👁️👁️👁️👁️🤝👍
They are playing kabaddi.😂😂😂
I'm totally visiting this safari some day! Probably after I visit relatives in Ghana
That was nice... no croc surprise attack... no hyenas ripping apart a gazelle... no vultures... quite a change from the norm. 😊
I am surprised the klipspringers just didn't leave. They are generally quite timid animals.
Look like they were playing that's why the parents didn't get involved because they didn't see them as a threat 🤷🏽♂️
If one of the baboons kill one I'll give him 10 bucks No wait, 100 bucks! He or she will have all of em' !
相変わらず、上手いね!
I love baboonssss❤️❤️
2:00 Sitting like a wise man "Foolish children. But experience is experience..."
Did you notice his red rocket too? 😂😂😂🥒🍆🌽🍌🥕🌭
Sensational ... congratulations
Baboons are very dangerous animal. Amazing video.👍🙏
Amazing video. Very relaxing
Who can ID that bird call in the background? :) (It's my favourite call!)
No idea lol
How do these scenes get caught by you in perfect time?
Those birds sang a beautiful song.
@pradhyum sri krishna - Our community is super lucky!
Waiting for someone to get it! 😂
1:58 "Do you mind? I'm having a lone time with my little friend"
Is the bird commentating the fight or what?
Looks like those baboons weren’t hungry
Birds are singing so beautiful!!!
So calming
Super 🤝👍
1:58 someone photo shop a 40oz of beer with the monkey.
This was therapeutic
Those birds are singing
Ngl baboons are op when theyre in a large pack and theres like so many of them they could take on almost any animal at that point
Thank you
where is the leopard when you need him.😜
I wish to go there in Kruger national park one day. God please bless me..
Good neighbours 😂
So cute
baby bucks vs toddler baboon
The world is falling apart and in chaos all around us and nature is in perfect harmony.
Klipspringer: (charges at baby baboons with its pointy horns) Adult baboons: "Eh, this is fine." Chimpanzee at the zoo: (simply touches a baby baboon through the fence) Adult baboons: "GRIHVKOKFYYDHIOHHGUHHTFDGRO!"
Different animals playing together.👍
This is Epic
👌👌👌👌👌👁️👁️👁️👁️♥️👍🤝
Damn just forget about the video and listen to the sounds🙌🙌
"For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now." Romans 8:22
Bucks: Why r u running? Why r u running
It's all nice and peaceful until someone gets hungry
Why do the bigger baboons keep the bucks alive any reason? At any time the big guy could catch one for sure!?
Awesome sighting
The other duiker had two very sharp knives on it and was ready to use them if needed.
Miss living there
Baboons are terrestrial (ground dwelling) and are found in open savannah, open woodland and hills across Africa. Their diets are omnivorous: they eat grasses, roots, seeds, leaves, fruits, insects, fish, shellfish, rodents, birds, vervet monkeys, and small antelopes.They are foragers and are active at irregular times throughout the day and night. They often raid human dwellings, and in South Africa, they have been known to prey on sheep, goats and poultry.
Are all this scenes from Kruger only....?? Forgive me for the silly question but just to confirm as this one didn't felt me from the grasslands of Africa but more from somewhere Asian forests... Thus asked
bucks so cute 💖 hope nothing bad happens to them 💖💖
Beatifull
מושלם ומדהים יא תותחי על! אוהבים אותכם מישראל!
Elohim y’varech otcha! Toda ve akol B’seder mi Drom Afika.
At last a video where we hear nature and not stupid comments from incontinent tourists.
Were they playing or fighting?
The young ones want to play with each-other, but still very cautious of a different animal.
