Zimbabwean mother pulls son out of baboon’s mouth

A mother from Zimbabwe rescued her son from a baboon’s mouth when the animal tried to take him away. She told VOA (Voice of America) about it.

Petronella Moyo said her 18-month-old child was playing at their home in Matabeleland when the incident happened last week.

She said she heard her son yelling and when she looked up, the baboon was pulling him away.

The baboon jumped onto the house with her baby in her mouth and said, “I was really scared. ” “I thought he was not alive. ”

However, she ran after the baboon and successfully got her child back.

Ms Moyo’s son got hurt but he will get better soon at Gwanda Provincial Hospital.

Baboons usually don’t care about people, but they can get aggressive and attack if they are bothered. They can be very dangerous because they have sharp teeth and claws.
