Leopard has all-out Brawl With 50 Baboons - Different Angle
A full-out brawl broke loose in the middle of the road when a leopard thought he would make a quick meal of a baboon. The leopard came charging towards the family at full speed, but the male baboons weren't having any of it.

The first video we shared just a few days ago hit over a million views, and that angle shows the leopard's sneaky ways and his speedy retreat, but this angle shows a unique point of view of the baboon's tactics and their quick response!
Watch the original video here: • Leopard Attacked by 50...
38-year-old Merve Mersinligil, a pianist and pedagogue (piano professor), was on her very first Kruger National Park safari with her husband, 44-year-old Lawyer Viktor Szontagh, when she captured this all on camera. She tinged her sighting and shared her story with LatestSightings.com.
Merve and her hubby had just arrived at Kruger a couple of hours prior, excited for their honeymoon stay at Satara Camp. They were driving from Paul Kruger Gate to Tshokwane when BAM! Out of the blue, they spotted a leopard walking right next to the road. He looked very relaxed and not in any particular hurry.
Then suddenly the leopard disappeared into the grass, and the moment was over . Or so they thought. A troop of baboons decided to cross the road, creating a traffic jam of their own. Now, you know baboons are cheeky and full of energy, so you can imagine the chaos and noise they created.
I said to my hubby jokingly "Maybe we should give the baboons a heads-up about the leopard that we just saw". “I had a good laugh, especially since this was my first time in the African wilderness."
"But guess what? That's exactly what happened. The leopard burst onto the scene, probably thinking it was going to get an easy meal. But this leopard was about to learn a lesson in party-crashing. The female baboons, protective, ran back to guard their young while the male baboons went full-on attack mode. The charge was led by what looked like the dominant male. He jumped the leopard almost like a rugby tackle, biting, hitting, and shouting like there was no tomorrow."
The leopard miraculously managed to escape the baboon attack, with some of the big males hot on its tail. These baboons weren't playing games! They even stood guard after the dust settled, making sure Mr. Leopard got the memo: "You ain't welcome here, buddy.

Does anyone know what happened to the leopard afterwards?
@@susanjulie7640 It went away.
I've seen this video from several angles. there are at least three videos
That boss that tackled the leopard showed why he deserved to be the leader.
he was not supposed to attack, You can see the first baboon🤨 who charged at leopard came by sideways didn't knew that it is a grown ass leopard 🤫because of a car in front but then he realized and run back but suddenly his instinct clicked him that never give your back to hunter so he tried to turn back and caught up with leopard, but till then his homies who already watched leopard becuz of front facing came to back him up and he survived, thats all it was.🤨
@@jassukijourney7228 Survival was never in doubt. The baboon wasn't there to fight alone. Each will run when face to face with the more powerful foe, but will not hesitate to attack from behind. Every member used that tactic, even when they had the leopard running for its life.
@@thewinusa this guy using chatgpt, lol
@@jassukijourney7228 I actually didn't see it that way. I took it as he adjusted more right to intercept the Leopard because the Leopard tried to sidestep. The closer I look the more convinced that's the case too.
@@CzechDownX exactly the leader baboon want to block the way of the leopard from chasing other baboons
The alpha male baboon deserves all the praise. He changed the whole momentum of his troop with his bravery👏
yep.. I feel like if he ran it would have been a whole different story.. humans need to do this more often too. Imagine if an active shooter started popping off in a shopping centre and instead of everyone running away (and letting him pick them off), they all run at him.. would only take out a few.
@@petetherealrelentless6542 Next time that happens you be the one that charges the shooter.
@@petetherealrelentless6542If a active shooter pops off in your local area you have to lead by example and take charge first. Do you have the courage to stand up first?
Most of the others waited or started running until the alpha engaged and they backed him up.
@@robsmith9093 . Tell him.... He is joking with bullets
The first baboon that charged at the leopard is bad ass! He knew he had back up but still sacrificed himself first to defend the tribe
He didn’t know he had backup
@@littleman787 r u brain dead? He’s literally traveling with a dozen of his peers wtf u talking about? Baboons r fierce and they travel in packs and r known to be aggressive u don’t think the alpha knew the others would help? It’s their instincts 🤦♂️ u don’t know about animals and nature go do some research
@@littleman787 I believe he did because he had eyes
Literally Trump right now for us.
@@sweJehTstI The South will RIIISE BROTHER!!!
Big respect to these baboons. They aren't dummies like the buffalos who rarely seem to work together. Very cool how all the adults instantly went toward the threat.
Ironically Buffalos are one of the only ungulates that actually work together and fight lions (sometimes offensively, not just defensively). Though I get your point. Zebra, giraffes, and more just escape and abandon the caught.
@TragoudistrosMPH I disagree. Often times I see videos where a lion/lions attack and catch one, and the buffalo's just run. Eventually they may return but obviously way too late and the damage has been done. These baboons are way smarter and attack immediately.
@@ChazR25 I'd recommend looking more into it if you're curious (like me). From what I remember, it's situational with cape buffalo. They protect each other under certain circumstances and will just run in others. (I can't remember the research off the top of my head) Baboons often run, too. This discussion now makes me curious as to which species fights or flees more often. I have no clue. (Leopards are solo hunters and lions need a pride to take a buffalo. I'd imagine a group of baboons likely wouldn't fight a group of lions.) You can find footage of buffalo attacking lions (with lions escaping into trees is a famous one.)
@@TragoudistrosMPH Nah man, if buffalos had a brain, every lion that tried to hunt them would be dead, they are three-4 times the size of lions, much stronger, sometimes they do work together to hold them off, but with their numbers and strenght it should be every time
If there weren't advantages to it would have heen natural selection'd on out tho no?
The big one was ready to defend the family, he ran straight at him
alpha male
There were about 6 of them in the back that did exactly the same thing
notice how the first big male deflect leopards sharp claw
he was not supposed to attack, You can see the first baboon🤨 who charged at leopard came by sideways didn't knew that it is a grown ass leopard 🤫because of a car in front but then he realized and run back but suddenly his instinct clicked him that never give your back to hunter so he tried to turn back and caught up with leopard, but till then his homies who already watched leopard becuz of front facing came to back him up and he survived, thats all it was.🤨
@@jassukijourney7228 what is bro yapping about? 💀
The way the big male gets in front of the leopard and "tackles" it is so amazing! He listens/sees the situation and run from the other side to protect his group. Incredible!
What is so amazing about stupid baboons attacking such a beautiful animal like a leopard? There are 1000000's of baboons...
Those are big quotationg marks, since the baboon avoided to the clash head on and would've been killed if wasn't for the mob.
@@heroesytumbas no he wouldn’t have, Leopards can’t kill big male baboons that’s why you always see them with babies or females
@@ashdog236 the leopard literally has the baboon by the throat after the clash, it's on the video...
3 of those big bucks came running instantly. Look at the ones in the back. They are on GO!!!!
Now you know why they were sitting in the middle of the road. Easy to spot predators coming for you.
great point
Great observation
Baboons are very intelligent. Notice that the other 6 males were spread out amongst the females and juveniles.
The leopard must have thought that the passing cars would neutralize some of this disadvantage.
Leopard: _Fucked around._ Also leopard: *Found out.*
Never seen such a display of toughness and loyality
EVER?
the baboons were "tough" only because they outnumbered the leopard a couple dozen adults to one leopard.
@@RayMarsRover The leopard thought they would flee like other preys and could be easy, but the first baboon that tackle the leopard was tough for real, he took the first hit by its own, he didn't think as soon as he saw he ran towards the leopard while the others ran away.
@@RayMarsRovera 3 adults can handle a leopard or cheetah
@@RayMarsRoverbro be quiet stop being that guy.. just stop
The alpha male instantly said, "Not on MY watch!" The hunter became the hunted. I love leopards but that was an awesome display of teamwork and unity from the baboons. The best defense is a strong offense. Wow.
Hate those baboons, vile creatures.
Yeah I had to watch in slow motion, He did not hesitate a microsecond.
After him, other males also rushed to leopard
@@YeobDuk17 One female too,(the small one).
That alpha man was the first to run away scared
That Alpha baboon defending his family is a legend. Zero fear, didn’t give a F and went straight in for the fight and won, respect ✊🏻
No such thing as "alpha" the phrase has been debunked by the sociologist that coined it.
Zero fear from the leopard! Taking on a full squad of baboons? Brave or stupid lol
@@tomosa6880in the beginning I thought the leopard would not make it out alive
@@dougaltolan3017 That was in relation to wolves no? A lot of primates very much do have hierarchies with a primary leader.
@@Arthurnate I think it was initially wolves, but when it failed regarding so many other cases, he dropped the whole idea. . Atriarchys are very prevalent too, sure, the fighters are often the larger males, but they aren't necessarily the decision makers. It's, sometimes the case that the leader dosent want to do it, but the task is foisted on them by the group.
0:36 Left corner: Leader noticed the threat and come forward without any hesitation. 0:38 While Leader in engaging, 6 warrior males are coming to support (pause and see). 0:40 Other few young males are also comes to the arena with a bit of hesitation. what a video. Thanks for sharing

"leader" is an assumption. It's not always the biggest bully that leads any group. Leaders find resources. Bullies just fight.
@@dougaltolan3017no not always the biggest, The bravest
🙏
@@dougaltolan3017 Reading your other comments on this video, you sound like the biggest soy face and that's why the word leader or alpha frighten you so much that you need to "debooonk" them.
Much better angle than the previous. I think the leopard was hoping to grab a younger baboon and make a run for it.
Verdade
That was the intention
@@thewinusa I read this in David Attenborough's voice
He was...but the alpha came and blocked him on his way...
@@BOM_NLD no that’s just your cringe Leopard fanboy take, he wasn’t aiming for the big male Babboon, the Baboon went for the Leopard, Leopard was going for the small weak babies as usual and got intercepted by a big male. Cope about it
the way the 1st male put himself directly in front of the charging leopard was so badass 💪
"badass"
The leopard was even more fierce because it didn’t flinch and went straight for it too after recalibrating because it was clearly set for a smaller baboon. Leopards know baboons kill.
@@scintillam_dei Why the sarcastic quotes, this it like literally the most badass thing a baboon could do.
It didn't it clearly saw how big it wa and was about to run
That's my dad!
Mad Respect To the Alpha Male Baboon ❤🙏
The whole "alpha" thing has been debunked. Its a myth
At 00:41, if you look closely you can see one of the baboon's that's attacking the leopard has a tiny baby holding onto its back lmaooo😂
😂😂😂yes
Good eye!
Also the one tryna f*ck lmaoo
Little buddy was holding on for the ride of his life! Haha😂
the alpha of the group, the biggest one, will face the leopard, absolute respect, he is not the head of the troop for nothing.
The alpha isn't always the biggest. It's the one who knows how to fight better ... the one who wins the fights . Thats the alpha ...
@@BOM_NLD I'm not taking about the leopard. You obviously don't know the alpha male is the leader of tribe. That alpha isn't always the biggest. It's the one who wins fights. The leopard isn't the alpha leopard. It's just a leopard. .
But the alpha doesn't stand any chance against the leopard

"It was at this point, that Lenny the Leopard began to suspect that he may have made a mistake."
😂 Lenny said there was 700 hundred of them man ! 😂😂
Nah, he was extremely courageous to make that charge. He knows he could lose his life because baboons will kill.
Lenny the leopard ….. that cracked me up 😂
@@Nel33147 It was either Lenny or Larry. I went with Lenny because I always liked Lenny, from "Lenny & Squiggy" 😎

The way the first Male Baboon went first and the others followed in formation was amazing
I'm so glad the lady in the vehicle didn't start screaming wildly.
she couldn't because the man was.
I spent six months protecting rhnos in south Africa, and not once did I see a leopard. Elusive creatures!!
I bet it saw you, though. hahaha.
How did you protect rhinos?
This one has a tracker implanted so the guides can follow it . (at some parks you download an app to see the locations of the big 7 )
If you try to protect leopards, maybe you will see them.
@@vipahmanthey don’t need protection leopards doing very well especially in India
That one baboon is goated. He wanted allllllll the smoke.
He ran away first after confrontation tho lol
And the leapord ran away from a baboon. And yet y’all think it can handle a Massive Silverback head on fight. Quit treating cats like gods boy.@@vipr1142
@@vipr1142 Stop. He had to have been wounded. The leopard had him pinned down, with his mouth on the baboon’s neck for awhile there.
@@vipr1142yea how coward of him to run away after getting fking attacked by a leapord while defending his group
@@dudechill486 Yeah he ran away like a beta male baboon. If he was real alpha he would have stood his ground
Wherever they give awards for best animal videos, this should be it. Awesome to watch 🎉
This is so awesome. Watch how all the smaller baboons run away and all the big males just go to alert and then protecc mode. The first one engages perfectly too- slows the attack by getting directly in the path and then jumps backwards when the leopard is committed so that he minimizes damage and initiates an immediate surround/swarming. It is the perfect defensive engagement to counter with massive damage. Still very brave to answer the call and desperate from the leopard or maybe young and inexperienced. I doubt he'll try that again- have you seen baboon teeth?
Baboons have teeth ans Jaws but they can't claw. Their major strength is their numbers. Also they don't usually swarm like this, they run away if they can. Cats are tough creatures and to top it all they have agility and gaddamn claws.
Yeah but baboons can literally rip shit off of your body. Toes, ears, nose, hair and fur, sexual organs. If that cat ended up surviving whatever weird shit those baboons did to it while they had it down i would be surprised. @lamrof
@@sunslapMy thoughts too. Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa, 24th January 2024.
Thanks for agreeing with me and documenting it so accurately lol@@MundiaKamau
It's crazy how much 'once in a lifetime' footage this channel is able to catch.
Because the reserve is extremely overcrowded and the apex predators overbreed like crazy
Damn! All the baboons ran one way, but without any hesitation, the Alpha ran the complete opposite - head on with the leopard! 😎
It wasnt just one male baboon. All the male baboons rushed the leopard. The first was simply the closest to be able to make a play. Those were all large male baboons molesting that poor unfortunate leopard.
@gozorak exactly, thank you, so many saying that "the one alpha stood his ground"... the ones who ran were the young ones, and they ran TOWARDS the group, because that's what Baboons do, they fight, they kill, they are very dangerous. That Leopard is lucky to be alive
Pause and check. The alpha was first in but at least 6 males charged straight at the threat. The alpha was fastest to engage and position himself between the leopard and the troupe. Pretty cool.
Some of them even ran away then when they saw the alpha male got some action they participated
@@gozorak "Molesting that poor unfortunate leopard,"" you say? The baboons were defending themselves. That was a suicidal move on the part of the leopard. Someone elsewhere at this posting comments that the leopard must have been very hungry and I agree. Baboons are known to maul leopards to death with those knife-like teeth that baboons have. I think the video was taken in the midst of a drought, and neither the baboons nor the leopard were at full strength, which is probably the reason the leopard was not mauled to death on the spot by the baboons, and which is why also, the baboons did not quite have the energy to pursue the fleeing leopard and maul it to death. Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa, 24th January 2024.
Who else saw when the alpha held the leopards mouth...simply amazing! The Brutal Strength...he did not care. He risked it all for momma, aunty, brothers, sisters, FAMILY! AAAW😢
" Who else" 😂😂 yeah it s not like litterally every comments wasnt talking about him...
Everybody saw it.
The whole "alpha" thing has been debunked. Its a myth
I’ll have to look again .
The leopard is licking its own wounds and swearing that it will never try to hunt any baboon again.
That prime baboon was something special he ran the same way with courage to attack that massive leopard, honestly they both are brave.
Loved how all the young ones ran to protection, while all the adult males ran in the direction of the big cat, to stop the threat. Then ran him off. 😭 Even at 1:07 how they all stood still to see if the leopard would come back.
I was about to say the same thing!!
then when they saw the alphas fighting they turned back so they could say they were part of the action
this type of behavior is referred to by the left as t0x|c M4scul|n"ty when it comes to us humans lmfao
females*
@@chocolatesquirrel2002baboons show large sexual dimorphism where male baboons are twice the size of females.
That was probably a young adult male leopard that just left his mother's territory and still venturing out of his fathers territory but is still learning that his species have limits on what they can prey on
One of the alphas at 0:37 turned around and directly faced the threat. Leading others to help him. Beautiful teamwork.
Yeah, we all clearly saw that. Thank you.
There's only one alpha the others are just big males
If you watch carefully, you can see than not just one, but several of the males do not run away with the group, they turn and charge toward the leopard just quickly as the first one. The baboon that makes the interception happened to be closer than everyone else.
Actually looks true. You might be right.
That's when he realised, he fucked up
That Leopard got some balls!
That cat is lucky to have even that after those baboons attacked!
@@clarencscoats3634 🤣🤣🤣
For someone who doesn't know... don't mess with a baboon. If you ever saw his teeth you don't want to gonna get bite by him.
at least that leopard have the balls to attack that entire baboon village,leopards are no joke
Very daring move by the Leopard. But these baboons were fiercely protective.
More like inexperienced. That’s insane to attack that big a tribe of baboons and think you’ll get away with it
If you watch each baboon, they each have their own story in the moment. If you want to know the baboon that did the most significant damage, it's the tallest one middle left on the road, who does a backstep before charging. He hops to the other side from the camera and bites and drags the leopard through the whole fight. 0:37 the bravery of the biggest alpha is most admirable because he did not need any peer pressure to fight and literally hauled himself to stop the leopard. This is the most perfect example of fight or flight in ever. All smaller baboons chose flight while the biggest Alpha males immediately went to fight the threat. Meanwhile the middle sizes ones need a couple of seconds and encouragement by the alphas to then have the confidence to join after jumping and inspecting the situation.
excellent comment and observation, I didn't fully notice that until now, that one male was locked on like a pitbull
nicely said
@@kiwidubz I feel as 'Closest Big Male' it naturally was his job and purpose to stop the threat while his other big buddies could cover the distance and pile in to finish the fight. I think it is a perfect example of advantage of social behaviour, like you don't need to be stronger then the big cat, but just strong enough to work together.
0:42 one is fighting with a child on its back
haha true!@@OrysB-po1fy
The way they stood up at the end like " Watcha gonna do huh? "
That was amazing. This is why those baboons have survived for thousands of years. They protect themselves.
That's one tough leopard, they had him pinned down for a good 10-12 seconds there but he still managed to get up and run away- by the looks of it fairly unharmed although one of the bigger monkeys got a good bite on the leopards thigh. I also noticed that the big alpha monkey that engaged first- although very brave, he would've been toast if he didn't have back up because he was on his back within a second and the leopard was aiming for his throat. Amazing.
i think leopard dead he got stabbed by baboon fangs many times, by the slow and unexplosive for a leopard way he escapes his death i think he gonner
@@MostIntelligentMan Lol no sometimes leopards survive lionesses these are just bunch of baboons.
@@MostIntelligentManYou could be right, but I really don't think so. He used only as much speed as he needed to keep the distance and get away, conserving energy in the case of a longer lasting chase. And like @CasperLeo said, leopards can survive good beatings from lionesses, I've seen a few videos over the years where a leopard has been pinned down by multiple lionesses and beaten up for minutes but the moment the lionesses is distracted for a split second the leopard is gone leaving the girls in the dust.
Yeah he had like 4-5 adult baboons to deal with and they have massive canines. Leopard took a big risk here !!
@@LionDominatora bunch of baboons can kill a leopard
the leopard went from offensive to defensive in a second!
More like from fight to flight
Special thanks to the cameraman, stable video, cool head, no fuss, no fear, no Parkinson's
We just got back from Kruger, and unfortunately before the trip I broke my wrist and needed an op. I'm reviewing the videos and some are so shaky😅 I tried my best, though, and I had a valid reason 😂
No parkinson 😂😂😂😂😂
At least 7 males were going head on toward the leopard @0:38 Crazy how the small ones and females filtered through the males and its crazy how quick their instinctual reactions were.
If you look closely, the other adults further back never hesitated to intervene either. The big male was just the closest. Quite a video!
getting jumped by your prey has to be one of the most embarrassing things that can happen to you has a predator lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂Lol Lol
If your prey is weak, yes - Bt these aint no Squirrels No shame in losing to a formidable 'prey'. Not because they are 'prey' does it equal weak and easy .
A Cape Buffalo is Prey but would you consider it weak?
they target weak or young buffalo's tho, pretty sure healthy adult buffalo is different cake @@ryosargeant1257
I dunno, man. Those baboons were pretty fockin gangster! 😳 The only animals in this video not seen showing extreme bravery and toughness were the bipeds.
This shows the qualities of a leader and power of unity
That first big male baboon seen him coming and was like come at me first bro
From all the videos of leapords I have seen, I have concluded that they are the most bold hunters on the planet. Which is wierd for a predator known for extreme stealth.
I agree
Are you equating stealth with being a bold hunter? If yes, how are those two mutually exclusive? I am confused
Not weird at all. Stealth and ambush is the leopard's strategy but they sometimes do very audacious things to secure prey that will make you want to applaud. However, what this video showed made no sense to me whatsoever. It was very un-leopard-like. He must have been extremely desperate to risk serious injury with a close to nil chance of success.
@@comingverysoonno normality baboons and other pray normally just run away with just the alpha separating his group and the leapord and calls back up if needed but hear it happened to fast and many others instead of flight decided fight
One moment you are relaxing and enjoying life, the next moment you are in the fight of your life. Tons of respect for the monkey that attacked the leopard as first one 👍💪
he was not supposed to attack, You can see the first baboon🤨 who charged at leopard came by sideways didn't knew that it is a grown ass leopard 🤫because of a car in front but then he realized and run back but suddenly his instinct clicked him that never give your back to hunter so he tried to turn back and caught up with leopard, but till then his homies who already watched leopard becuz of front facing came to back him up and he survived, thats all it was.🤨
@@jassukijourney7228Why are you copying and pasting the same comment? You're very mistaken if the Baboon wasn't a confident leader it wouldn't have confronted the Leopard whether it was a cub or adult...

Amazing that the Alpha baboon could even run with those massive balls
The whole "alpha" thing has been debunked. Its a myth
The leopard f'd around and found out 😂
Baboon got him on the nuts pitbull style 0:45
Just when you thought that scene couldn't get any better, it did.
So impressed that they fought back. The leopard probably expected them to scatter, so he could pick one of them off, but they stood their ground and united forces, and brought down the Boom!
so glad you showed the ending of it. Some others just showed the leopard running, but we didn’t get to see the end where the baboon stopped as the leopard got away. That was so awesome for the baboons and their family. I’m glad the leopard didn’t get hurt either.❤❤
I wouldnt be too sure about the baboon not being hurt. Look up Baboon Teeth!
Unity is strength.
And its filmed properly!
Yes, yes, yes! Someone finally knew how to hold a camera, er, phone.
Such an accurate depiction of what it means to be a man ! Regardless of species, each gender has its instinctive role.
Something about that comment misses the mother with a baby on her back getting right into the fray. There’s a very interesting paper written that identified eight species that exemplify female leadership: hyenas, killer whales, lions, spotted hyenas, bonobos, lemurs, and elephants. Leadership and dominance are different things. There’s muscle and then there’s brains. Us males are just cannon fodder for the smarter females.
Pause the video at 0:38 and count the faces running forward. you can see there were 6 others that ran towards the jaguar even as the brave one was arriving. Great group effort were all 7 were willing to do what the first did.
The good ol’ baboon vs leopard rivalry. I wish to see more footage of these interactions.
Wow the way that big male came in full force! No fear whatsoever. Even the big mother with the baby on her back got in the fight too. I saw where the tiny baby got knocked off in the tussle and ran to a tree, he tried to climb it, but fell back to ground. They definitely taught that leopard a lesson.👍🐒
What's the timestamp for the baby ran to the tree? I can't see it
@@Billyb0b557 it's around the .50 second u can see the baby monkey at tree on grass on right side of video. Watch close you can see where the mom has baby on her bk fighting, it's hard to see cause it happens so fast, then u see it scampering over to tree, scared no doubt...bless it's heart.
@@stormjacobs5497 I found it thanks, amazing spot by you amongst all the commotion happening in the road
@@Billyb0b557 thank you for that acknowledgement ☺️. Hopefully you were able to see the whole part where mom comes into the group fight. Pretty amazing her fight, baby and all on back.
Baboons were like... "What's that Baboon gang like cuz?"!!!! Lol.
Gotta love how the leopard, even after escaping a mob of baboons, seemed to just stroll away at 0.25x speed.
One thing about baboons....they got huge fangs. Imagine 10 or 12 of those sinking into you at the same time.
Kudos to the brave baboon who came in first to defend his troop
For sure the alpha is to be praised - however, you can also notice some other key members of the group that immediately follow the alpha’s attitude and make the battle even. Such a cool and human-like social structure displayed by these fascinating animals.
The whole "alpha" thing has been debunked. Its a myth
This is so epic to see the Male Baboons standing their ground to protect their female mates and babies!
Family is all that matters. Did you see the line of defence that formed out of no where !
Did he expect all of them to run?
I believe he did, and he thought wrong.
He was likely hoping to startle them long enough for him to grab a younger baboon. There was a young juvenile on the right which likely was the leopard's intended target. The baboons response was exceptionally quick here, and the dominant males managed to get in between the leopard and the juveniles. Leopard's will often suprise the flange and grab an unsuspected victim, by the time the enforcers arrive the leopard is long gone.
yep and they all did until 1 didn't haha, well to be fair it looks like half a dozen of the mature males brought it to the leopard, I just don't see how that leopard had such tunnel vision to not stop sooner, those are some big dudes he ran into, but leopards just don't care sometimes, no fear
Leopard is accustomed for it's prey running away from him until now😂
That first alpha baboon male was pinned down and was in trouble in head-on combat with the leopard, 😄 the other baboons saved the alpha's life
Leopard accustomed of prey that don't bite back. So he f around and found out😂
@@michaelpeters2063 science is your nemesis chick
Says the guy simping for the cat 💀 @@shintomohanty2473
if you watch it in slow motion 0.25 you will realize that the females, cubs and young males are the ones running from the leopard, but the adult males follow the command of the alpha male's cry, and all the males will attack the leopard, the first to reach the leopard is the leader
Baby baboons aren't called cubs
Noticed one baboon arrives late (0:47) from the right. Gets into the pile, but doesn't do much at first, but it ends up being at the front as they chase away the Leopard.
This channel never ceases to amaze
pause it at 0:38 all 7 of the larger males turned to fight and the alpha was first in. Incredible!
Amazing picture
0:39 would be an incredible picture!@@ktet15
Incredible Marvel Comics aka moment. Awesome teamwork !!
Baboons are proper lads. Other animals will let predators take their weakest and run off to save themselves, but the baboons stay and scrap.
Best intercept I've seen of a baboon.
At that moment…..he”The Leopard”knew he fucked up 😂😂😂😂😂😂
0:37 , that baboon is surely the leader of the pack!
Surely the male that was closest to the leopard.
For me, it is actually difficult to see which one is the leader. The big dudes are all instantly running towards the leopard. The supposed alpha was just the closest. All the big ones were ready to tackle the kitty.
This is an example for how leader should tackle difficult situations when juniors can't
So sick how the alpha cut him off like nah you gotta go thru me first !!!
The whole "alpha" thing has been debunked. Its a myth
Pretty sure that leopard will never try that again
The Major's Captains and Lieutenants responded as if they were trained. One stayed a bit out to the left in case the leopard turned back, he was waiting for him. Amazing!
Homie didn’t even think twice. Straight up went after that leopard
Incredible footage. Never seen one before like this
With little reaction time, the Alpha instincts kicked in and you saw them defend the group immediately.
The whole "alpha" thing has been debunked. Its a myth
They clearly knew their roles. You can see the big ones charge at danger, and the little ones flee...
NOT TODAY, said the Leader!!!!!!!! Team work....Love it❤❤❤❤!!!!!!!!!!
Leopard deserves Darwin Award
not when it survived
with bites
Damn baby was hanging on for his life! 😂😂😂
Some of them are professional American Football players. He came from miles away faster than the attacker. Protected everyone on his own. That’s some elite level stuff!
No joke one of the most amazing videos ever
Alpha male went in without being afraid, imagine being so supportive, can wholeheartedly know the clan has his back.
he was not supposed to attack, You can see the first baboon🤨 who charged at leopard came by sideways didn't knew that it is a grown ass leopard 🤫because of a car in front but then he realized and run back but suddenly his instinct clicked him that never give your back to hunter so he tried to turn back and caught up with leopard, but till then his homies who already watched leopard becuz of front facing came to back him up and he survived, thats all it was.🤨
@@jassukijourney7228nah he was cutting the leopard off that's clear as day. He clearly charged at the leopard on purpose
i dont think so,i think he caught by mistake @@tommygarrosh2941
@@tommygarrosh2941He's clearly blind, he's the only one who thinks the first Baboon was scared
@@jassukijourney7228 shutup virgin kid
Yes, the big male baboon put himself in front of the troop, but the leopard straight up slammed into him, pinned him, and was about to kill him within 1.5 seconds before the rest of the troop jumped in. That's the most impressive thing in this video for me.
It takes much more time for them to die than 1.5 seconds. It needs to block his air intake. That's how they kill. Not in seconds. FYI
That first male takes the brunt of the leopard. Brave individual.
I think this is the best wildlife video I’ve ever seen. A true leader and the bravest one, face death in the eye and said not today and not my troops.
WAY better than the other video as this one is landscape and close while the other is vertical and from far away and can't see anything. Notice: -How all the male baboons react attacking the leopard -How the first one put himself between the leopard and the rest of the troop, taking all the danger -How that same first baboon was easily dominated by the leopard -How the other baboons attacked, biting the leopard in a dog like fashion, moving their heads side to side to increase damage, while the first baboon was getting mauled -How the baboons where actually so cautious with the leopard that when the leopard turned to them, to each one I mean, those got away as fast as they could. They know they don't have much against the leopard, except their numbers, and if the attack start dwindling, there's no effect anymore, which happened once the leopard started turning, stopping the attack, allowing the leopard to easily escape. Al the male baboons have for defense is their big canine teeth, of course their great agility, threat displays and their numbers, but beyond that, individually, they aren't really a match for the leopard. There was one baboon that really spent all the time biting the leopard in one spot. Wonder how much damage it did given that pantherinae skin tend to be quite tough, but baboons have really big canines, not sure about their bite strenght given all numbers on the internet seem to be made up, of all animals, not only baboons.
The alpha baboon although brave would've been in trouble if the others didn't mob the leopard.
Well no shit 😂
I bet he got injured
Absolutely not. Baboons are just as bad. It would have been a tough fight. Baboons have the same teeth if not sharper than a leopard’s.
@@jiggitah581 but weight much less and have no claws or killer instinct... And im a primate fan
@@jiggitah581 overall body strength matters. That chakma baboon leader was pinned down by the leopard and would have been in trouble if the other baboons had not saved the alpha's life
That is what i call a reliable community
Thank you for posting this film
