‘Unity is strength’ is a popular phrase that almost everyone has heard at least once in their lifetime, but some tourists visiting the Kruger National Park in South Africa witnessed it firsthand. A couple were enjoying a safari in the national park when they encountered a road full of baboons. The animal group slowed down the traffic as the people waited for them to pass. The baboons were suddenly attacked by a leopard that was hiding behind the bushes. But the entire scene turned around after the baboons attacked the predator back and the group was able to get the upper hand. The baboons chased the big cat away and left the tourists impressed. The video of the incident was shared on social media. The couple shared the clip with a YouTube channel, which went viral.

The video was shared on the YouTube channel ‘Latest Sightings’, with the title, “Leopard has all-out Brawl With 50 Baboons - Different Angle.” The description of the post read, “A full-out brawl broke loose in the middle of the road when a leopard thought he would make a quick meal of a baboon. The leopard came charging towards the family at full speed, but the male baboons weren't having any of it.”

In the video, a leopard was seen walking on the side of a road. The big cat then entered the grass area to hide itself. The video then jumped to a scene that showed the same road filled with some baboons, who were crossing the road. Suddenly, the spotted big cat attacked the group but immediately regretted the decision. The leopard was attacked by a heavy number of baboons and the group easily overpowered the predator. After a while of defending itself from the baboons, the leopard ran towards the grass area, but the baboons also chased it. Soon the prey-turned-predator stopped while the supposed predator was nowhere to be seen.

The video went viral and left the netizens impressed with the baboons. The people loved the unity that the animals showed to protect each other. Many also pointed out that the group was more protective of each other as it also had some young ones in it. The video was posted on August 15 and has received 180K views from netizens.

The comment section was flooded by netizens sharing their views. “The alpha male baboon deserves all the praise. He changed the whole momentum of his troop with his bravery,” a user said. “The alpha male instantly said, "Not on MY watch!" The hunter became the hunted. I love leopards but that was an awesome display of teamwork and unity from the baboons. The best defense is a strong offense. Wow,” added a second viewer. “I spent six months protecting rhnos in south Africa, and not once did I see a leopard. Elusive creatures!!” joined a third.
