Watch: Mongooses battle baby-stealing baboon

A primate learnt the hard way not to anger a protective band of small carnivores.

The holiday town of Marloth Park in Mpumalanga is a wildlife mecca, where incredible sightings are a common occurrence.

In one such incident – captured on video by 57-year-old Charmaine Kritzinger and published by LatestSightings.com – a baboon is attacked by a family of mongooses after it tried to steal one of their babies.
