WATCH: Baboon attacks man at a nature reserve
A man was attacked by a baboon at a nature reserve.
Ever heard that saying that you should never mess with mother nature.
The forces of nature should never be reckoned with, because they are deemed to be the most powerful. That being wind, water and fire.
But we believe that wildlife should be added to the list as a force of nature.

Because ultimately they are very much a part of nature, they have minds of their own and do not resonate with human life taking over their habitats.
So it is only understandable that this Baboon attacking a man seemed warranted to some extent. We are not by any means saying that we support violence of any sort, but animals respond to danger differently.
Their every instinct is to attack or be attacked and that is why it is important to be prepared when visiting nature reserves or places that are home to wildlife.

We are not certain if we heard correctly, perhaps you could comment in on this, but did it sound like the one man was warning the man who was attacked not to do more because it was being videoed?
But on the other side, it looked like both the Baboon and the man acted instinctively.
The man instinctively ran to grab his bag of food, and the baboon thought he was coming to attack him so reacted aggressively.
Either way, it's like they say, don't mess with the forces of nature, including wildlife.
