The hilarious video, shared on TikTok by @siphamandla.sunsh, captured the dramatic moment a KFC meal became the target of a swift animal heist, entertaining many social media users.
The video, filmed by TikTok user @siphamandla.sunsh during the day at a sightseeing spot overlooking the mountains near Grabouw, shows the men's City Golf parked with its windows rolled down.

The baboon car takeover
The situation escalated quickly when one of the men rushed to the car, opened the rear door and shouted in an attempt to scare the animals away. His companions moan in disbelief as their meat is being eaten right in front of their eyes. As the men approached, two smaller baboons jumped inside through the open windows.
The commotion attracted a bigger baboon, presumably the dominant male, who was sitting nonchalantly with food in his hand on a low safety wall. When the men continued shouting, stressing about their KFC, the large baboon charged directly at them, forcing the entire group to scatter and abandon their car.
