Baboons
To be honest, I didn't expect baboons to have such a complex social order or to display such craftiness in their ability to minimize the danger from predators such as lions and leopards. Why? Well, perhaps because they simply don't look too smart. For one they have very prominent brow ridges, extremely elongated snouts, a tail, and very closely set eyes.
But contrary to my expectations, the documentary shows them taking very complex counter measures to maximize their own safety. One that impressed me most was they planning to climb a sheer cliff in order to prevent being attacked at night. So yes, the video did change my perspective in reference to Baboons and I highly recommend it.
Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
