Patterns of mating among male patas monkeys ( Erythrocebus patas ) in Kenya
An habituated group of wild patas monkeys was observed in Kenya for 550 h in 1984. Observations were made primarily during an interval that, as previous studies at the same site had demonstrated, coincided with the annual mating and conception periods. Earlier field studies of patas at other sites had reported that heterosexual patas groups had only a single resident adult male and that mating was harem‐polygynous. At the Kenya site, by contrast,…

Omnivorous Primates. Gathering and Hunting in Human Evolution
Agonism, ranking, and the social behavior of adult male baboons
An ingrained technique in primatological analysis is to rank individual animals in a hierarchical system that is usually but not always based on the outcome of agonistic encounters. An explication of group structre and function is then sought by correlation these rankings with aspects of behavior. When the behavior of the adult males in a free‐ranging troop of olive baboons is examined, ranking is found to be inadequate to represent the behaviora…
Patterns of movement in open country baboons
In early accounts, baboons are described as invariably assuming a particular troop formation when moving across open country. This movement pattern is an integral part of a model of social organization in which behavior is a response to predator pressure. The model, in turn, has been applied to describe populations of early hominids moving onto the savannah from the forest. The special formation was not observed during a year's study of free‐rang…
Meat-Eating and Hunting in Baboons
Predation by a troop of olive baboons ( Papio anubis )
During 1970–1971, a troop of 49 olive baboons was observed in a partially protected area in Kenya, not far from the village of Gilgil. The baboons were seen to catch and eat 47 small animals, a rate of predation far higher than has been reported for any other nonhuman primate. Prey animals included hares, small antelope and the neonatal young of larger antelope. Adult male baboons caught and ate all but three of the prey animals. Adult females ca…
