Interesting & Amazing Information On Baboons

Baboons are unique and complex social creatures, comprising of 8 to 200 members per troop.
They make use of ten different forms of vocalizations to communicate with one another. These mainly include grunts, barks and screams. The non-vocal forms include lip smacking, shoulder shrugging and so on.
Studies have indicated that a male baboon’s receptiveness toward females depends on the size of their swollen, colored genitalia during estrous.
Baboons do not have any type of prehensile or gripping tails and spend much of their time on the ground. Nevertheless, they can climb trees to sleep, eat or look out for trouble.
While changing locations or travelling as a group, the dominant male members of a baboon family lead the troop, followed by the females and the young ones. They are, in turn, followed by the less dominant males who bring up the rear.
