Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Baboon troops
clash in epic battle
Baboon troops
usually live in a hierarchical group. The size of the group varies from 50 up
to 250, depending on specific circumstances, especially species and time of
year. They mainly eat plants but they also eat grasshoppers, ants, and
sometimes small gazelles and chickens. In order to find food, they walk as long
as 10 kilometers in their territory every day.
That was when
these troops of baboon encountered other intruding troops. They needed to
protect their own turf and females from the enemy. There didn’t seem to be any
room for peaceful interaction or negotiation but to fight. The monkeys have
sharp canines mainly to protect themselves or attack other animals, including
the members of their own group, enemies of the same species and preys such as gazelles.
The battle looks quite fierce and bloody.
Enjoy
watching this amazing video to learn what the life of baboons is like.
