What do they know that we don't? On April 13th, the New York Times published an article about some research into the behavior of a troop of savanna baboons in Kenya. Now, normally, baboons are not high in my reading priorities, no matter whether they’re overpaid corporate executivess, full-of-hot-air politicians, or celebrities enjoying their fifteen minutes, but the headline persuaded me to read on. “No Time For Bullies: Baboons Retool Their Culture,” it said. It seems that researchers have been studying one particular troop of baboons for a couple of decades. At the outset, this troop was dominated by a small group of truculent – no, downright aggressive – males. They were in a tussle with a neighboring troop of baboons over the rights to a the spoils – literary – at garbage dump not far from a nearby lodge. Unfortunately, the meat in the dump was tainted, and the dominant males all died.

Bower Many anthropologists assume that until our evolutionary ancestors learned to control fire to keep predators at bay, primates avoided caves. Two separate studies in Africa now indicate that some groups of baboons and chimpanzees regularly enter caves, primarily to escape extreme cold and heat. In one investigation, psychologist S. Peter Henzi of the University of Central Lancashire in Preston, England, and his coworkers tracked a baboon troop's forays into an underground limestone cave in South Africa. One at a time, the animals would crawl down a narrow shaft and then move through a 40-yard-long passage that empties into the pitch-dark cave, which is always near room temperature. Using soft grunts to communicate, the 31 to 50 animals would then get busy, copulating and grooming one another and splitting into small sleeping groups. Infrared video cameras that the scientists had placed inside the cave captured the action.

Soon afterwards, an infuriated group of baboons converged at the scene of the killing and surrounded her body.

91. The Hidden Life Of Baboons baboons are interesting, intelligent, complex beings who deserve our respect. far away from humans, baboons are known only by the laboratory settingsunderstand that baboons are highly intelligent, curious, and Young baboons love to play, and they show a joy http://www.peta.org/feat/baboon

Baboons Protest Road Killings Last year, another group of baboons threw sticks and stones at passing cars after a baby baboon from their troupe was killed on the same road. Young baboons love to play, and they show a joy in living. They spend carefree days swinging from vines, playing games of chase, and wrestling and tumbling with their friends. Female baboons remain in the group into which they were born, among their relatives, throughout their entire lives. Their social lives are centered on the network of family in which they live. As baboons mature, they become active members of the troop and commonly walk four to 10 miles a day to forage for food. One of their favorite foods is the sweet gum hidden in the bark of young fever trees, and they will spend hours in a grove, satisfying their sweet tooth. Because they enjoy a wide variety of foods, baboons have adapted to many habitats, including savannas, rain forests, deserts, mountains, and seashores. In each habitat, they protect themselves from predators by climbing into the branches of tall trees or scaling steep cliffs. They are tortured in part to secure hefty federal money (our tax dollars at work) for grant-hungry vivisectors. Experimenters at Columbia are

P RIMATES NIGHT APE Similar to the bush baby but smaller in body size, more triangular face with huge big eyes, and a long thin tail with a fluffy end. They are arboreal and strictly nocturnal occurring in a variety of woodland types, especially A cacia , eating mainly insects and fruit. MONKEY BUSH BABY Called so because of its loud wailing scream, the bushbaby is an elusive tree creature, usually only spotted on night drives and then only its red eyes can be seen high up in the trees. They spend their days in hollow trees and forage among the treetops at night for insects and fruit. Very agile in trees but awkward on the ground, hopping in a frog like fashion. They are usually solitary, but may group together to form small and temporary communities The lesser galago, also called bush baby, is one of the smallest primates, about the size of a squirrel. Despite its size, it is exceptionally vocal, producing loud, shrill cries surprisingly like those of a human baby. The plaintive cries and "cute" appearance may account for the name "bush baby." It and its larger cousin, the greater galago Bush babies have large, round eyes for good night vision and batlike ears that enable them to track insect prey in the dark. Fast, agile and accurate, they catch some insects on the ground and snatch others from the air. As they jump through thorn bush or thick growth, they fold their delicate ears flat against their heads to protect them. They fold them during rest, too.

(Note: Be sure to visit The NewTechDaily to catch breaking news on this developing story.) Higher Primates Can Program After VB.NET Training Smarter Software Leads to ‘Primate Programming’ Research SAN DIEGO, CA — Here by the San Diego zoo, experiments last month with baboons have proved that higher primates can perform software testing, traverse complex menus, and code simple XML schemas. The finding have implications for the entire software industry, with some scientists predicting routine programming such as maintenance and report writing will be performed by teams of primates within 10 years. McAuliffe’s work builds on research conducted in 2003 at several research universities. This university research supports the view that higher primates can learn language and perform complex cognitive tasks. Researcher Dr. James McAuliffe found that baboons could use and test software, and perform simple programming tasks. The results were published recently in the Journal of American Zoology.

Old World Monkeys T he Old World monkeys occupy a wide variety of environments in South and East Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and even Gibraltar at the southern tip of Spain. Some species inhabit tropical forests, while others live on arid grasslands and even mountainous areas with heavy winter snows. Natural range of Old World monkeys T here are at least 78 species of Old World monkeys in two subfamilies-the Cercopithecinae and the Colobinae Monkeys in both groups are relatively large, being about the size of small to medium-sized dogs. M ost Old World monkeys are cercopithecines . Included in this subfamily are the baboons , mangabeys , mandrills , guenons , patas monkeys , and macaques . These are all African species with the exception of the macaques which also live in Asia and Gibraltar. Japanese macaque (left) and African patas monkey (right) M any species of the Cercopithecinae subfamily sleep in trees or on cliff faces and spend their days in large groups foraging for food on grasslands. Perhaps, the most familiar of these semi-terrestrial monkeys are the African baboons.

Apart from humans, baboons are the most adaptable of the ground-dwelling primates and live in a wide variety of habitats. Intelligent and crafty, they can be agricultural pests, so they are treated as vermin rather than wildlife. The two most common baboons occur in East Africa, the olive baboon and the yellow baboon. The larger and darker olive baboon is found in Uganda, west and central Kenya and northern Tanzania. Smaller, more slender and lighter in color, the yellow baboon inhabits southern and coastal Kenya and Tanzania. Both types are "dogfaced," but the yellow's nose turns up more than the olive's.

CENTER INFORMATION Mission Statement Director's Office ... Contact Natural History of the Primate Species Housed at the Washington National Primate Research Center Of the more than 250 nonhuman primate species in the world, only four commonly participate in research projects at the WaNPRC. These include savanna baboons and three species of macaque. None of the primate species used in research at the WaNPRC is endangered or threatened with extinction. The WaNPRC colony includes 3 of the 19 macaque species identified by scientists: Macaca nemestrina —the pigtailed macaque, Macaca fascicularis —the longtailed macaque, and Macaca mulatta —the rhesus macaque. Pigtailed macaques inhabit tropical evergreen rainforests of Southeast Asia from Burma to Indonesia, including the islands of Sumatra and Borneo. Longtailed macaques are found in many of the same places as pigtailed macaques, but they have a larger geographical distribution, extending to numerous islands including Java, Bali, and the Philippines. Where they are found in the same general location, these two species tend to separate ecologically. The longtailed macaques are more likely to be along rivers or in secondary forest, on flatter terrain, and at lower elevations than pigtailed macaques. Pigtailed macaques more often inhabit primary forest and hilly terrain. Rhesus macaques are broadly distributed in Asia, extending from eastern Afghanistan, across much of India and
