[National Geographic Wallpaper] Gelada Baboon (겔라다개코원숭이)


Simen Mountains National Park, Ethiopia
2001
Michael Nichols

"It's the way of all geladas: Family males???those with prized females at stake???must contend with lustful bachelor foes. The opponent at right 'won't even meet the top guy's eyes,' says biologist Chadden Hunter, 'likely because the females are sticking by the incumbent, hovering in his shadow.' Ah, but choosy females can easily cause a power shift. 'Females will change males as quick as putting out the garbage,' Hunter says. 'So the new guy will be back to try again.'"

???From "Kings of the Hill?" November 2002, National Geographic magazine
