Answer:

A baboon troop is a complex and fascinating hierarchy, where males are dominant but their ranking is tenuous and changes often, while females inherit their social status from their mothers.

Baboons are incredibly social beings, and just like human families, they comfort and support each other, and squabble and fight!

Infanticide in Chacma males is common compared to other baboon species, as newly dominant males will often attempt to kill infants fathered by the ousted alpha male – he does this because without an infant to suckle, females will go into oestrous (ovulate) and he will be able to father his own offspring.

When feeding, its every baboon for itself – they do not share food and a dominant animal will help itself to food from a less dominant one. When humans feed baboons we are essentially telling them that we rank lower than them.
