"If they could play cards and swig beer, they probably would. Instead, a gang of gelada bachelors lounge under ancient heath trees, flashing eyelids at a family male (not visible) that provokes them daily with aggressive postures. Like related females, all-male groups will defend and groom each other and huddle for warmth???kind acts between future foes in the battle to reproduce."
