'Don't Bite That!': Grumpy Dad's Car Wrecked By Baboons on Family Trip

A video of a disgruntled father driving his family through a safari park while sustaining baboon attacks on his Porsche has the internet cracking up.

The clip shared by TikTok user @jdmotorsltd on April 8 went viral, with over 300,000 views. It shows the family's trip through Knowsley Safari Park near Prescot, England. The father, who works in car and motorcycle sales, explained that he had taken the day off to enjoy the site with his wife and 5-year-old son.

But the outing took an unpleasant turn for this dad when his fancy car fell victim to baboon assailants.

As one of the animals grabbed a side mirror, he yelled to his wife, "Look at its teeth!"

"Get off," he admonished the baboon. In the background, his wife giggled at his disgruntlement.

The father's anger continued to mount in the next clip when three baboons perched on his windshield, investigating the vehicle with their hands, feet and mouths. "No! Don't bite that!" he shouted. "No! Don't! Alright, seriously now."

"Beep the horn, beep the horn," advised his 5-year-old backseat driver.

Meanwhile, his wife gave into a hysterical giggle fit.

The baboons continued to taunt the flustered father, climbing all over his windows, mirror and sunroof, while his wife and son howled with laughter.

Despite his apparent frustration, the dad commented below the video that the hit to his car paint was well worth the family trip.

"I had a 5-year-old and Mrs to keep happy and that was worth more than a bit of metal at the time," he wrote.

He even responded with good humor to viewers who said that he should have chosen a different road. Knowsley Safari has a bypass route that allows visitors to avoid car damage from the baboons.

"What did you expect?" one viewer asked.

"That Porsche rear wipers would be a bit better made to handle monkey attacks," the father replied.

To another commenter who asked why he would put his car through this, he responded drolly, "I think the real question is why would my wife and son put me through this."

Fortunately, he also added that the damage was not significant and he got the car fixed up for free.

The baboons at Knowsley Safari previously made news in 2009, when they learned how to open car rooftop luggage boxes and make off with the possessions of park visitors.
