Baboons 'armed with knives and chainsaws' spotted in safari park

Baboons at a popular safari park have been spotted armed with knives, screwdrivers and even a chainsaw, according to reports.

The primates at Knowsley Safari Park in Merseyside are already known for their destructive abilities and have been pictures previously pulling things from visitors’ cars.

But now, some staff are concerned that the baboons are being armed with weapons “for a laugh” by park-goers, according to the Sunday Times.

One worker told the newspaper: “We're not sure if they are being given weapons by some of the guests who want to see them attack cars, or if they're fishing them out of pick-up trucks and vans.”
