Chacma baboons
Chacma Baboon (Papio ursinus)
Baboons are the savanna's version of the monkey, and are the largest member of the monkey family.
Baboons live in groups known as troops. Each troop consists of a dominant male and female, and other adult males and females and offspring. When they travel they have their own specific formation. The dominant male is in the front and the dominant female is behind him. The other males form a circle with the rest of the females and the offspring in the center.
