This wild pet can be found on Jaguero Isle in the The Cape of Stranglethorn. It only spawns when it's raining on the island, however, this area has its own unique weather pattern. Although it might be raining in Stranglethorn, it may not be raining on the isle.

This is a great place to start leveling pets while waiting for that rain. I leveled a dozen or so to lvl 8/9 and after I got my Baby Ape I leveled those pets to lvl 14 in Tanaris waiting for sandstorm to capture Silithid Hatchling.
Rate this comment if you think it will help others :D
Couple of tips:
Northern STV, Southern STV and Jaguero Isle have separate weather. If its raining in one, it will most likely not be raining on the others.
The rain lasts for about 10-20 minutes. The length seems to be random. The Baby Apes will respawn throughout the rain.
Park an alt on the Isle or be prepared to camp. I have seen the rain multiple times and have yet to see a pattern.
Good Luck!
Finally got mine!
Pro Tip: Jaguero Isle's weather is independant of STV. I logged in on an alt I parked hovering over the Isle. When I saw the rain I swept down and tamed a Green Baby Ape. I then started flying over to Booty Bay to grab a flight path to civilization. Over the water I noticed that it suddenly stopped raining. It was sunny over Booty Bay. To make sure I went back to Jaguero Isle. Sure enough, it was still raining hard.
So it was raining in STV but not a baby ape spawn to be found. I went around and killed all the other spawns (crabs, spiders, snakes, etc) and a few minutes later there were apes all over the place. When in doubt, just kill things lol...
Captured Baby Ape at 2:10 AM EST in the NE section of the Jaguero Island. When it rains on the island you won't be able to miss the weather effects, not only is it raining heavily there is a misty fog as well. There were at least 4 other pet collectors on the island while I was there and there were plenty of Baby Apes to capture. Good Luck!
Just logged in 9:33am cst, 7:33am realm and it was raining, baby apes all around, stopped raining 2 minutes later, saw an ape but when i engage i reallized i had my lvl 25 pets and forfeited so i could switch, stopped raining in that time, i'll be back tomorrow to try again, hopefully raining at the same time.
A great ability combo for this pet is to start by charging your Barrel Toss, Stun with Clobber, use Rake to reduce the damage of whatever ability your opponent is using (Remain versatile, if you know they are going to use a nuke, use Rake before that happens!) and then finish with Barrel Toss. This is a rotation that has knocked out the majority of pets I've come up against, the only downside is the Baby Ape has no healing available, so go for the 4/14 breed for maximum damage results.
After circling the island several times, I finally found one. It turned out to be uncommon, which is fine by me. I'd rather have one, and leave them for others because they seem to have horrific spawn rates.
I don't know if it's been posted yet, but a word of warning! If you have the introduction Zandalari quests where Bimba flies about with you the island will be phased. My mage was phased, I could see the rain but there were no mobs. I freaked and abandoned the quests. I had to relogged before I could see them. But overall not a bad wait! Good luck!
So annoyed with this pet. Was raining in Booty Bay, so I flew to the island to see if I could get this guy. When I got to the island, the rain stopped. Heart broken I flew back to Booty Bay..Where it was still raining. Flew back to the island, nothing. Flew all around the far outter rim of the Island. It was raining ALL around the island, but not ON the island. Really Blizz... REALLY?!
kicking myself, before i started pet collecting properly i was on this island and it was raining, but i didnt know anything about the apes and now that iv been trying for days to get here when it rains im so annoyed that if only i had known then....
Today I finally got it! :D For 3 days I logged in and out on the island every ~20 mins from 6pm to 12pm and never once saw rain. Sometimes for an hour or so I killed monkeys and skinned them. Weekend I logged randomly all day - no rain. 2 days again every ~20 mins and nothing.
Today logged on about 20:15 and behold! 10 mins of rain and no baby apes until they started respawning. There were 6 other people from different servers also hunting for them. My 3rd was rare - yay!! :D
Finally got one of these and I got my blue in one rainstorm after three tries. Rain started around 6:30 am server time and lasted about 12 minutes. The blue that I captured had 597 health.
My first time on the island in the rain, I found a few poor. Took one just to tick that box off the EK safari list, but went back the next day to rare hunt. Waited til it rained and there were TONS of babies. Snagged my rare, snagged a rare shore crab, left a happy camper. Was sometime in the morning, Caelestraz time.
Logged on a toon, it was raining! A baby ape right in front me, uncommon and grabbed it. I didn't find any others even though it was still raining. Waited for a bit and after a while they respawned. I guess someone else killed the first batch. No rare to be found though. I'll try again another time.
For those that might be upset or tricked like me. The rain in the cape is different that the rain on the isle. I flew into the Cape and it started raining, I as so happy! Then when I got to the isle it stopped. In the cape it's raining but not on the isle. You are not alone! Good luck!
Just came up at 1130 server, several greens no blues.
i had to log onto a differnt toon on a different server to get mine. to many people on stormrage camping pets. lol... but there are 2 diff kinds. u want to make sure u get the one with the full attack.. its really nice at lvl 25 (breed 4,14)
Finally managed to get this pet. Discovered that even though it was raining today, I was aparently phased out because my camping toon was on the bambala raptor quests. once I drop the bambala quests, I phased back in, but it still required a re-log. Soon as I relogged, there they were.. and my first try netted me a RARE! baby ape. Found on Gul'Dan on the western side of the island at about 7:30 am in a huge rainstorm. :) Yay for finally getting eastern safari!
Was so happy to find it raining! But then I didn't find any baby apes.
When I discarded all bwemba's quest and relogged, I suddenly could see baby apes all over the place.
