Do gorillas and baboons evolve from a common ancestor?

Baboons belong to a part of the primate family called "Old World Monkeys" and Chimpanzees belong to a part called "Hominidae" (or the Great Apes).

What animal hunts baboons?

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..

I have seen some terrible footage of Baboons eating a living baby Gazelle alive, but I think they don't know any better.
