A baboon jumps over a fence into a crowd of onlookers as it tried to escape a hungry pride of lions in South Africa.<br /><br />Filmed in July at Pilanesberg Game Reserve, several lions are seen running after a warthog before turning their attention to the baboon. The monkey notices this and hops over the electric fence and scurries up a tree.<br /><br />The filmer told Newsflare: "We were having breakfast in front of our chalet at the lodge and heard people saying there were lions approaching the fence of the lodge. <br /><br />"The lions were actually stalking a few warthogs and then started chasing after the warthogs.<br /><br />"We jumped up and ran to the fence to try and get it on video. The next moment the baboons walking along the fence of the lodge got such a scare of the approaching lions it made a big leap over the electric fence in between the onlookers from the lodge.<br /><br />"Baboons are very dangerous animals and are known to kidnap small unattended babies."
