It is said that baboons could kill a leopard. Is this true?

A leopard that is hunting baboons usually stalks up to a troop where they are roosting for the night, grabs a victim an hastily retreats with it.

Occasionally, however, hunger drives a leopard rashly to attempt to snatch a baboon from a troop in broad daylight. when this happens, a number of big baboon males usually got the aid of the shrieking victim and attack the leopard, which in turn could be severely injured or even killed.
