		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.

		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.
