Zoologists were confused by the strange behavior of a flock of baboons in the Dutch zoo, who apparently fear the invisible threats. “At the end of the day on Monday, they started to panic, and were just hysterical. They didn’t jump around, as usual, and behaved very strangely, “says zoologist Emman Landman in Friday in an interview with reporters. “On tuesday and wednesday they just sat on trees or on the ground, barely moving and almost nothing didn’t eat, “he continues. 112 East African monkeys are no longer pay attention to visitors and sit huddled in a corner. Zoo officials say this is the fourth time in 20 years baboons behaved this way. However, this behavior animals were not observed in other zoos, as well as in behavior baboons in the wild. The zoologist said he has no idea what happened on Monday, and what could have hurt the baboons so much, who were born in captivity and live on an island in a zoo. “I heard many theories, but nothing more or less like the truth, “- said the zoologist. Some suggest that baboons saw a predator in the image of one of the visitors or felt an earthquake or any other natural disasters. “It was even put forward crazy assumption that such animal behavior caused by the appearance of a UFO. Changes in animal behavior when they lost in the wild or saw a predator, completely not corresponds to what is happening to them now, “he said. Despite the absence explanations of strange behavior, baboons, at least, started little by little there. “Last night, some of them started to eat small apple slices and we gave them pills with vitamins and minerals, ”says Landman.
