What animal hunts baboons?

Answer 1

Baboons need to hunt in order to survive. Baboons eat a lot more meat than other primates. Mostly these are insects, snails and other invertebrates. But they also eat small mammals if they get the chance. They commonly kill and eat hares, birds, young antelopes and even fellow primates such as bushbabies and young vervet monkeys. Their large size also allows them to overcome and kill, when hunting in a group, larger prey such as gazelle kids. They have large impressive canines, their main weapons of defence and offence. Yellow baboons have been observed hunting down hares and digging out burrowing mammals. The chacma and olive baboon gorges on grasshoppers and scale insects when there are infestations of these insects, ignoring all other food. Olive baboons also hunt hares and larger mammals like vervet monkeys and infant Gazelles. Those living on the coast may hunt molluscs, crabs and other marine life. So in answer to your question, they hunt to survive to provide for themselves and their families otherwise how else are they going to eat? They live off of not only fruit but meat. In order to get the meat they need to kill the animal..

They are NOT Vegan or vegetarian. They live on the Savannahs of Africa without even stone tool. They will even hunt down the occasional leopard.

Without eating meat only a ungulate (an animal like a horse, or cow) with multiple stomachs, or an elephant, can live off the only plentiful plant matter there, grass. Primates who adapt to living on the Savannah become predatory. The same thing happened to us 6 million years ago.

Answer 3

Baboons are primarily hunted by humans, lions, the spotted and striped hyena, and the leopard. However, leopards are mainly interested in the younger baboons, because older males will take on a leopard and even chase after him or her.

Answer 4
