Crazy baboon at Tiger World in Rockwell, North Carolina

A baboon goes crazy when visitors approach his pen. He does quite a show for the camera!

[@Franz19970]

Baboons are such beasts. Though you can tell he hates being confined in that small cage

[@peter8488]

One day that door is gonna open, then see who laughs.

[@trendmassacre8423]

Oooo, such a threat you got there, Mr. "I can only hope for something that will never happen"

[@chaudrydanial]

Baboons don't laugh

[@cortrichards8179]

Omg....that thing has simply gone mad! He is trying to be oh so aggressive and is only causing everyone to laugh hideously and uncontrollably, until they are practically crying from laughter. You can hear the people dying of laughter over that things insane antics.

[@billhenjum7566]

"Primate Play Zone" on the sign...ironic. Poor beast is doomed.

[@chrismitchell3577]

His kinda act nothing like this in the wild. They live atop cliffs at night coming down to find food in their large territory. Living in separate family groups with up to 1,000 baboons in that baboon society.

[@HappyQuailsLC]

He isn't crazy He is distressed and as long as people call him crazy they seem to disown their role in his sad state of being.

[@PrimateProductions]

+HappyQuails Yes..that is exactly it..so much fun for them to say he is crazy but yet they all torment him and then laugh about it. It is terrible that this place allows this to happen on a daily basis and they are quite aware of it..but it is a big draw of visitors for them and makes them money. If they really cared about him as they claim they do on their facebook page and really were the "sanctuary" they claim to be (they are not a sanctuary ...they do not follow any guidelines that make up a sanctuary) then they would place him somewhere away from the public so that he might exist in a little peace. His background story is terribly sad and these assholes take advantage of his unhappiness and all these people that get off on watching him get so upset should be ashamed of themselves. Bet they would be a lot different if they didnt have that cage between them and him.

[@HappyQuailsLC]

+Gina Powell Wouldn't it be great for parents to use an opportunity like this to open up a dialogue with their children about what they are observing here and what may be able to be done to help him? If possible they could ask a member of the Park's staff what he likes or needs and what they are doing to provide that to him. This would change a day at the park from teasing the sad animals to a lesson in proactive social responsibility.

@@PrimateProductions You have more remorse for primates than you do actual humans. You are disgusting and vile These beasts are brutal, vicious and have been documented as killing and cannabalizing their own young I guess that’s fine with you tho

[@doobiesmoke15]

You don't need pants for the victory dance

[@VersaceUnderwear]

You still there?

[@rexlandis3633]

This isn't funny. This animal is, at the least, neurotic. Obviously mentally ill from confinement with no stimulation.

[@trendmassacre8423]

Oh shut up, it's jealous cause it wants every female it sees walking through, idiot. By the way, yes this is funny!

[@asherrogers2687]

Unfortunately it's got a funny coat which makes his performance "appear" funny, although we aren't aware of "why" it's acting this way.

[@idominusrex5952]

It's for intimidation display and being agitated by stupid humans

[@asherrogers2687]

@@idominusrex5952 Exactly. Plus South Carolina......says it all. That state's flooded with abused animals.

[@Tarheel13]

This needs to be shut down.

[@user-th6jh2hf5j]

I think something might be neurologically wrong with that Baboon!!!

[@jmathis2aug]

Yeah it’s gone mad being confines

[@saruscrane4953]

The poor chap's gone mad!!!

[@samsonbuenas7913]

He want foods in exchange for baboon dance...

[@sarahmetzgar4923]

it is so sad to see these creatures who have been driven to the point of insanity at yet another cheap ass roadside businesses so some yokel can make 2 bits. If you watch video taken where they're kept in tiny wire cages and abused by people who use them for pointless "research", the behaviors are the same.

[@ttle17]

I feel sorry for any females if he gets loose.

[@byazrov]

poor animal. people are shit.

[@nicoleavequeggy6174]

Ce n’est pas un babouin fou !!! C’est un babouin rendu hou par la captivité et les hommes ! Et entendre les gens rire de lui est insupportable !
