Lion vs. Brave Baboon Fight-West Serengeti Safari

I am sharing this because 1) this was unusual behavior (lions generally don't expend energy for such small rewards) and 2) you get suspense, drama, comedy and terror in 3 minutes. In my defense, I am ONLY rooting for the baboon because I would never want to witness another primate (including humans) being killed. Yes, I did want to see a kill but I was really hoping to see a zebra or wildebeest behind those bushes! But that's nature.

That's why leapords are smarter than baboons They knows when to run , and when to defend . Leapords only defend themselves when they are completely cornered by lions and no route to escape , still there are videos they are running from lion pride when there is a single chance of escaping .. instead to continue the fight.. Sometimes bravery is not everything. I am sure if it was a leapord it would survive that day by climbing tree after the initial fight .. Instead the domaint male boboon continued to chase the lion , and coated his life ...

The baboon had no way of outruning the lioness. It simply isn't built for running. Also, maybe it could climb trees but those bushes cannot be climbed. This baboon maybe is a lone male, an outcast. He has no troop to help him. So he had to make a stand with all he's got, like a cornered rat.
