πŸ’πŸ˜€ New #research on chacma #baboons shows that older siblings often "throw tantrums" to interrupt their mother's grooming sessions with a younger brother or sister.

Even though they don't need the extra resources to survive, they seem to be competing for something more familiar: a little bit of attention.

I see Mozambique’s baboons as windows into hominid evolution

In Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique, Rassina Farassi studies how humans came to walk on two legs.

Baboon Mother and Child. A human observer doesn't have to strain to completely understand and relate to this loving moment between a mother and her young child. I see my own children in this moment, when they would stop their world of play for the reassurance of a loving cuddle.

Finally watching season 12 of Alone, one of my favorite TV series. Boy howdy, baboons are pretty scary, seemingly more worrisome than bears. #alone #baboons

Alone (TV series) - Wikipedia

Peon A: "Sir, performing this plan would be akin to kissing baboons on the lips."

Boss: "Exactly! ... Now, I did not get here today by kissing baboons on the lips. No! They don't have adequate lips. It was macaques that I kissed on the lips. Those luscious lips are simply kissable."

Peon A: "Great!"

Peon B: "Super!"
