Results so far..
What we have discovered is that the Male Chacma Baboon is very dominant. While observing these creatures, we saw that anywhere the male would go, one of the females out of the 4 would follow him. Following the male, the female would always keep a distinct distance away from the male. Right now, we do not know why this creature behaves in this sort of way. We will be doing further research on this behavior so we can give a better explaination of why they're "playing follow the leader." Also, the females seem to stay together more then the males. No matter where you looked, there were always at least two female chacma baboons together. The males, on the other hand, stayed away from eachother. Every once in a while, the males would yawn or show their teeth to the other male. This was meant to be some kind of a threat. Showing their teeth tells other males to stay out of their territory. You never really seen them come to close together. Otherwise, it would probably cause some kind of physical activity between them.
