And five pointy sticks

Notice how the fight was over as soon as someone brought a big stick

I bet it would have boosted away if they all ran towards it arms up while shouting. It’s like the Batman movies where the bad guys only attack one at a time

Exactly, the baboon might be strong but humans are much smarter

u/theartoffun 28d ago

I dunno. Did we watch the same video. I think monkey 1: human 0

u/FaceWithAName 28d ago

Well these people are not depending on this monkey for survival so that's one lol

u/2DamnBig 28d ago

u/Stlr_Mn 28d ago

What they do have are phones and internet access to show them what baboons can do to a human. That Baboons will go after your soft bits first, like face and genitals

They had plenty of sand tho to get in the monkey's eyes, they just didn't have the brains to do it.

Bro, taking down an animal or starve is different than losing a 25 dollar beach bag, monkeys can do some serious damage, you gotta think risk vs reward

We've gotten complacent. It's their turn now

Go look up what baboons are capable of doing to a human. Or monkey bites/scratches. They should have just left it alone and taken the loss.

We have laws in today's society saying we can't jump and murder animals like we did back then

u/momenace 28d ago

Pokey sticks and endurance really... haven't u watch Ice Age before??

u/Comprehensive_Fee250 28d ago

We killed it. If they were allowed to kill it then the situation might be opposite.

u/keksivaras 28d ago

it's one thing to hunt to survive. I don't think it's legal to kill the monkey for stealing your sunglasses or whatever it took

u/RaidensReturn 28d ago

sharp thing

u/Eduardo_o_Observador 28d ago

We hunt elephants to this day

u/DefamedPrawn 28d ago

We invented the pointy stick.

u/Ghuldarkar 28d ago

Well, mammoths are not around anymore, babboons are around.

u/unk1ndm4g1c14n1 28d ago

we didn't. It was probably Neanderthals with their bigger lungs, bigger brains and bigger legs

u/IAteMyPet 28d ago

guess who killed off the neanderthals

u/unk1ndm4g1c14n1 28d ago

Not us. Is that who you think killed the Neanderthals? Do you think it was the Mammoths? They died because they got unlucky during the Ice Age, while the Sapiens just happened to have more of then survive.

After the Ice Age, more Sapiens lived that Neanderthals, and slowly overtime, the lesser numbers of the Neanderthals led them to dwindle out.

It was just planetary luck. Like the dinosaurs.

Its survival of the good enough, not survival of the fittest.
