Baboons are not typically prey for hunters due to their exceptional intelligence and aggressive, belligerent nature. However, when faced with predators such as lions, leopards, and hyenas, baboons refrain from direct attacks and instead rely on the support of their group to fend off these threats.

In a striking video, a lion is seen attempting to kill a baby baboon. The lion brazenly attacks the young baboon in full view of the troop. Despite the challenge of climbing, the lion ascends a tree where the baby baboon, unprotected by its mother, is perched.

The troop of baboons, witnessing the lion take one of their own, becomes furious. The leader of the troop quickly rallies the group to launch an assault on the lion to rescue the baby baboon. In their frenzy, the baboons use sticks and stones to aggressively drive off the lion, determined to save the young one.

Ultimately, under the intense attack from the baboons, the baby baboon is successfully rescued, and the lion is forced to flee for its life.
