Baboons + car + your luggage = one hilarious video
Most people know that baboons are naturally curious - but watch the video above to see just how curious they are about the contents of roof boxes.
The video was created by the staff at Knowsley Safari Park in the UK, and acts as a warning to let visitors know that the baboons will open anything they can get their hands on.
Apparently the baboons have mastered the art of opening roof boxes, and that they are very efficient at ripping the contents to shreds. The results are absolutely hilarious.
Of course, this warning applies to any safari, so be sure to listen to the park rangers, and remember that cute and cuddly only goes so far in life.

Doesn't say the video was staged, just that the video "acts" as a warning. But, am wondering ...
1. Who is taping what's happening?
2. Why didn't the driver honk his horn or attempt to slowly drive away?
3. Who is speaking on the walkie talkies?

No one got hurt. The baboons are merely looting through the luggage. Calm down. lol

Staged or not, I don't really care, and enjoyed watching the 'carnage' immensely. Those baboons are not exactly dummies, either, and I'd not even think of trying to pet one. Once wild, always wild. I know, I've raised some wild babies (raccoons) but that's another ball game. (And they were returned to their own habitat, I might add.)

Baboon, any of the large, powerful, ground-living monkeys of the genus Papio, also called dog-faced monkeys. Five subspecies live in Africa, with one species extending into the Arabian peninsula. They have close-set eyes under heavy brow ridges very good with shooting videos.

To Demillicent: If you wondered how long it would take before someone brought in racial profiling into the mix, then you must have thought of the same exact thing. The racist thinking exists deep in your being as well, otherwise you would never have thought of it. Who is the idiot here, MORON. But you probably won't get my logic anyway, since you are way down the evolutionary scale, like those baboons are.
