Curiosity nearly killed this cat.
A leopard’s attempt to nab an easy meal backfired terribly after a troop of 50 baboons banded together and beat the spots off of it.
Footage of the interspecies beatdown has amassed over a million views online as wildlife fans praised the small primates for their courage.
“At that moment, I realized I was witnessing something extraordinary,” accountant Ricky da Fonseca, 30, told Latest Sightings of the incredible moment, which he shot while on safari in South Africa’s Kruger National Park — which seems to be the veritable ground zero for viral animal brawl videos.
The group had reportedly pulled up at the south of the Tshokwane picnic site, where visitors generally stop for mid-morning brunch or late-afternoon snacks.
