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.
