BABOONS (Papio anubis)

Baboons (Papio anubis); This beautiful primates were captured on the camera at Gashaka village of Taraba State; protected within the Gashaka-Gumti National Park-within Filinga Range. These primates are gregarious living within groups of varied sizes. A group is always led by an alpha male which mates all the adult females within the group and protects them; groups comprises of different age range, sub-adults, infants, juveniles. The life of a baboon is intriguing as they chastise their young, show of envy for male that attempts mating the adult females within the group but they show love and care- this is built over time by some day to day rites they show each other-for example; picking of lice form one which is reciprocated by the initial benefactor. These primates deserve protection; we are obligated to protect them as they have the right to live, lets give them the chance.
