      Baboons mainly eat leaves, fruit and seeds, but they’ll eat whatever they can get – which is why they steal food from humans! I’ve seen them eat crabs from the river, and sometimes meat. They don’t hunt, but if another animal comes too close they might catch it. I’ve seen them eat an antelope and lizards but not often!
