	the Living Africa: wildlife - primates - savanna baboon
		The savanna baboon is strictly a diurnal mammal.
		Baboons are unique because members of a troop will have a fairly similar schedule, and basically stay into contact with each other throughout the day.
		Baboon troops can be as small as 8 and as large as 200 animals, however a typical troop size is generally 30 to 40 members.

	Savanna Baboon
		Hamadryas and gelada baboons are still more terrestrial and subsistent on grasses, but replaced by savanna baboon everywhere they formerly ranged except for most arid parts of northeast Africa (hamadrayas), and cold montane grasslands of the Ethiopian Highlands.
		Perhaps most useful for understanding what goes on in a baboon troop is the knowledge that, internally, baboons are competing to attain and maintain dominance-females of different matrilines as well as males-and that externally, the troop has to compete with other troops for the same resources while defending itself against predators.
		Baboon troops are as small as 8 and as large as 200 animals, but typically include 30 to 40 members, half of them immature.

	Savanna Baboon
		Color: brindled, olive brown (olive baboon), yellowbrown (yellow baboon), reddish brown (Guinea baboon), or greenish brown with dark lower limbs (chacma baboon); nose, lips, ears, hands, and feet fl; callosities, rump, and scrotum colored like face, shiny and often with purplish tinge in adults (pink in Guinea baboon).
		Hamadryas and gelada baboons are still more terrestrial and subsistent on grasses, but replaced by savanna baboon everywhere they formerly ranged except for most arid parts of northease Africa (hamadrayas), and cold montane grasslands of the Ethiopian Highlands.
		Social relations are influenced by gender, by standing in the dominance hierarchy, by male female and male male alliances, by emigration and immigration all mediated by a communication system nearly as elaborate as that of the great apes.

		Olive baboon males weigh about 25 kg while the females a bit more than half of that -- considerable sexual dimorphism.
		The females are hierarchically organized and maintain stability in the group as males come in from outside (unlike many ape species where females come into groups from outside.) Daughters inherit their mother's rank.

	Baboon and Impala Together (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Baboons and impala are common throughout the Okavango Delta, Botswana.
		Having personally observed baboon and impala, I've concluded that there are two benefits for impala: the baboons have a structured early warning system to detect predators, and they are generally messy feeders and drop a lot of food onto the ground from trees which the impalas feed on.
		Benefits to the baboon probably revolve around the principle of safety in numbers, with the eyes, ears, and noses of the impala adding to the troop's alertness.
