Guessing the baby baboon dies from hunger in short order? Doesn't seem like the jaguar would have the capacity to feed it what it needs.
This is from Eye of the Leopard, which is imo among greatest nature documentaries ever made. It is a truly remarkable piece of filmmaking and something that will last with you forever. 10/10, must watch.

Imagine casually trying to cross a river and then you see that terrifying creature coming at you at that rate of speed.
Escobar had some as pets. They got loose and now there are 70ish wild in Columbia. Wonder how they taste
"One scientist, however, thinks that the hippos would make a lovely barbecue. When one of the Hacienda's hippos was accidentally electrocuted during an experiment with electric fencing, the carcass became dinner. "What did the local people do? They took him, they chopped him up, they barbecued him and they ate him!" biologist Patricio von Hildebrand told the BBC. Apparently, it tasted like pork. On the surface, killing hippos for food not an insane idea. Hippos—like their evolutionary cousins, whales—have a lot of meat on their bones. At the turn of the 20th century, there was even a plan to import hippos to the Louisiana swampland to solve a massive meat shortage. According to a 1962 article in The New Scientist, hippos have very little fat and a high yield of edible protein—roughly 1,200 pounds of meat from an average-sized hippo." There was an anthrax outbreak from eating "tainted" hippo meat not that long ago so that is a possible deterrent.
Also good lord at how many hippos we would have in the US if they had gone through with that plan of importing hippos to Louisiana.
