Tolerated Queuing in Baboons (VIDEO)

University of Cambridge

Caption

Once a dominant baboon has taken control of a food patch, surrounding baboons will often form a queue. Grooming relationships to the feeding dominant can help a subordinate jump up a queue, although much of it is dictated by status. Filmed in Tsaobis Nature Park, Namibia.
