July 28, 2009: Baboons learn to open car roof containers
 This is one of those shots that isn't exactly what you think it is at first... The folks at the Knowsley Safari Park sent this car through on purpose, with the car roof box filled. They did it to show that the baboons have, in fact, learned how to open the containers. Of course, this means there were similar events, before the park figured out that it was happening, and how to get a good picture of it. I'm just as concerned about the damage to the vehicle itself. Side mirror... wipers... the baboons are now the subject of "Anti Social Baboon Orders" from the park. They don't say what that means. It sounds like these baboons have now been put on report, or double secret probation or something. |

let this be a lesson to us human-type people: Don't pack your edible underwear up there.

They need to send a few more cars through that have lions in their roof-containers. The surviving baboons will be too frightened to ever try to open another roof-container again.

Do you think its necessary to have people in the car? Are they trying to scare them off?

I'm not sure how to interpret this, but...you will note that the baboons are not trying on any of the clothes they've found. Does this make them smarter than us, or stupider?

I think they should sue for entrapment.

That must be where they recruit Japanese customs and quarantine inspectors.

It would be simple to train the baboons not to do this. Even in a harmless way. But I reckon they want to get the media hype first.
...shuffles off to look for baboon recipes......
