The post-war "men's adventure" magazines were filled with thrilling stories, many which took place in foreign lands and dealt with duels to the death with all sorts of exotic animals. The most famous was, "Weasels Ripped My Flesh", that appeared in the September, 1956 issue of MAN'S LIFE. Today's story, written by Stan Lewis, is a tale of a photographer and his friend that meet up with an unsavory lot of Hamadryas baboons.
Incorrectly called apes in the title, baboons are actually primates of the monkey family and they are not known to be particularly aggressive towards humans. They were, however, revered by the ancient Egyptians. Anyway, it makes for a good story!
