I am totally amazed that such a thing happened. What a wonderful world... remarkable

but what happened to the baby baboon next? Did she tire of it in a few more hours?
was it like cats playing with mice for a while before, eventually, getting hungry and killing them?
What happened the day after and in the days to come - a baby baboon needs a lot of feeding and care.

I don't really care what happened to the baby next... it is just a big cat not a monkey and I don't think the big cat is capable of taking care of the babymonkey sufficiently. if it would be normal that big cats raise little baby monkeys we would probably see such things more often, who knows... but the predator does not seem to kill out of fun. predators dinner is assured why killing a more or less usefull babymonk and then I think it's remarkable that instead of leaving the useless babymonkey alone, it seems big cat shows some kind of child welfare for the monkeybaby, furthermore even if big cat is still hungry after monkeyparent and dicides to hunt and kill the babymonkey too, well... that's life. :shrug:

I read somewhere that the baby died the next morning, of natural causes. This needs authentication though.
