In June, 1983, a young mother watched helplessly as a baboon snatched and ripped open the skull of her only child and ate his brain. She believes the rare incident must be related to witchcraft. According to Lettie Goitsimang Tukane, 34, the baboon sank its powerful canines into the skull of her three-month-old son, removed the brain, climbed up a telephone pole and ate the brain before fleeing into nearby bushes. The bizarre and tragic incident occurred at a cattle post in the remote North West village of Madipelesa outside Pampierstad, South Africa, where Tukane and fiancé Oupa Goeiman live. Tukane said her son Neo was sleeping in a bed in one of the rooms while she was busy washing dishes in another room when she heard his screams. She said when she rushed outside she saw a huge baboon carrying Neo under one of its arms. She tried to scare it off, but the baboon was aggressive and it wanted to attack her too. "It happened so quickly that by the time neighbours came and threw stones and set dogs on it, it had already eaten the brain and scuttled into the bush. I could not believe my eyes when I picked up Neo. "He was still breathing and his skull was opened and he was bleeding profusely," said Tukane. She said Neo was her only child and she hoped he would live because her other children died of natural causes before they reached one year.

Oooooooooooookaaayyy.
THAT is just plain old fucking WEIRD.
Why the hell would a baboon do that?
Ripping off the skull to get to the brain...................OH WAIT! DAM, like der! It thought it was the baboon from the cartoon seen on Cartoon Network on cable TV in OZ called " I am Weasel"!!!!!!!
In all seriousness, is this for real? Would a baboon really do something like that, completely unprevoked? Or did we have one too mnay puffs of the choof-stick and imagine it all, lol
