Many anthropologists assume that until our evolutionary ancestors learned to control fire to keep predators at bay, primates avoided caves. Two separate studies in Africa now indicate that some groups of baboons and chimpanzees regularly enter caves, primarily to escape extreme cold and heat. In one investigation, psychologist S. Peter Henzi of the University of Central Lancashire in Preston, England, and his coworkers tracked a baboon troop's forays into an underground limestone cave in South Africa.

62. Monkey Wrench Although baboons, like other primates, demonstrate a keen social knowledge,they re ignorant about much else, including matters of survival. http://www.smithsonianmag.si.edu/smithsonian/issues01/oct01/baboons.html

document.write(''); National Zoo: Great Ape House Republic of Botswana Monkey Wrench An American couple's ingenious research challenges the popular notion that baboons and other monkeys are almost human In recent years, the idea that monkeys and apes are almost human has gained currency not only in Hollywood but among wildlife researchers as well. Dorothy Cheney and Robert Seyfarth take the opposite view. Their experiments with vervet monkeys and baboons have sometimes revealed extraordinary richness in the monkey mind, but more often, Cheney and Seyfarth have discovered severe limitations on intelligence and communication in monkeys. Although baboons, like other primates, demonstrate a keen social knowledge, they're ignorant about much else, including matters of survival. The husband and wife team, who teach at the University of Pennsylvania, spend their summers in the wilds of Botswana's Okavango Delta. Their technique is to record a baboon's calls and then play them back to see how other baboons react. The animals' unresponsiveness in certain situations indicates they do not realize they could use vocalizations to inform or influence companions. The researchers have concluded that baboons do not recognize that other baboons have minds. "They're not furry little humans," Seyfarth says. "They're just monkeys."

It started last summer when my wife, Doris, gave me a copy of A Primate's Memoir by Robert M. Sapolsky. Doris is always giving me books to read. I read few of them because her reading taste is much higher brow than mine is. I never miss Buffy or Angel; I always read the comics after the sports and before world news. Doris reads the Sunday New York Times even if it takes her a week; I skim it in 45 minutes or less. But hey, I was going on a three-week trip to Alaska, and Doris was not happy to be left behind, so in the interest of marital tranquility I said, "Love to read it." I figured that with luck, three weeks, and two long flights, maybe I'd get halfway through the book before I returned and I could fake it when she asked me if I liked the baboon book. I figured I could say, "Loved it. Did I get any good mail while gone?" The problem began just after lift-off. I started to read A Primate's Memoir, and I started to laugh. At first it was just a chuckle, but before we cleared Nebraska I had tears in my eyes, was almost doubled up, and was trying frantically to muffle belly laughs. The flight attendants came over to me three times to see if they could help. They thought I was in pain. And I was, but the pain was not being able to share this amazing book that talked of real science with real life in real situations in the bush, in towns in Africa and in New York City. It was real primatology; some wore clothes and some didn't. The book I thought I wouldn't finish in three weeks was actually finished before I landed in Seattle.

64. MAPS Replies To Dr. Ricaurte And Science, Arguing Once Again That A Correction N s primates. While baboons are not monkeys, they are definitely primates. We wereunquestionably and obviously commenting on the mortality rate of both http://www.maps.org/mdma/maps-ricaurte8.1.03.html

MAPS replies to Dr. Ricaurte and Science, arguing once again that a correction needed to be made to Dr. Ricaurte's letter of June 6, 2003. Dear Etta, Thank you for forwarding Dr. Ricaurte's response to our request for a correction regarding his statement in his letter that 1 out of 10 monkeys died, when in his paper he reported that 1 out of 5 monkeys died and 1 out of 5 baboons died. I am surprised and disappointed that you are considering not printing a correction. In Dr. Ricaurte's first sentence of his response, he says, "A total of 10 monkeys and 5 baboons received the sequential dosing regimen of MDMA described in our paper." Since the original paper does NOT report that 10 monkeys were treated but only reports that 5 monkeys were treated, out of which I died, and 5 baboons were treated, out of which 1 died, this clearly seems to require a correction. Otherwise, how are readers supposed to make sense of the discrepancy between the information in the paper and that in his letter? Ricaurte wrote to you, "Our response did not mention baboons, because no questions or comments had been raised regarding baboons, not because we were attempting to "sweep data under the carpet." He also made the Clinton-like lawyerly distinction that baboons are not monkeys. Regardless, our letter in

References cited Abstract top The spurious dichotomy, "human vs. animal", continues to inform most humans' attitudes towards other species, even though it is a biological nonsense. Non-humans are not just "animals"; equally, they are not just small furry humans. Each species is unique, and this has consequences for captive care and husbandry as much as for our philosophical appreciation of them. I will enlarge upon this theme, using examples from baboons and squirrel monkeys. Introduction top "Does the way animals behave have any implications for humans?" "Has this drug been tested in animals?" "Do animals think?" Needs of different species top We need to study the requirements of each species separately. The following lists only the more obvious of the categories that we need to consider and cannot take for granted:

68. Untitled Document Bloody baboons baboons eat a lot more meat than other primates. Mostly theseare insects, snails and other invertebrates. But they also eat small mammals http://www.szgdocent.org/resource/pp/p-baboon.htm

Baboons Papio spp Baboons are only found in Africa. They are the best adapted of all monkeys to a terrestrial life, the Hamadryas being the most terrestrial. Baboons live in a wide range of habitats including open habitats. But they require rocky cliffs or tall trees to sleep in at night and access to water. Only a few are forest dwellers, such as the Guinea baboon from West Africa. Baboons eat a wide variety of food, generally whatever is in abundance. Baboons have relatively long thumbs to dextrously pick and prepare food (e.g., peeling, stripping). They prefer fruit, but when this is not available, will eat less nutritious but abundant food. The Yellow baboon is particularly adapted to seeds with unusual chemistry which other creatures find less palatable. During the dry season, grass can make up 90% of their diet, tearing it up in handfuls. They may also dig up tubers and they can survive on roots and bulbs alone. Their long, dog-like jaws have large molars which efficiently grind up such tough food. They also have cheek pouches to stuff food into. This way, they can quickly gather their food, then slowly process it later in a safer and cooler place. Unfortunately, baboons also raid human crops.

Home Places Accommodation Activities ... Animals Primates of Africa Some of the more easily seen primates along the Zambezi valley Baboon The Chacma baboon are gregarious animals, occurring in troops of about 50 or more, feeding on the ground and in trees on fruit, seeds, rhizomes and insects. Apart from humans, baboons are the most adaptable of the ground-dwelling primates and live in a wide variety of habitats. Intelligent and crafty, they can be agricultural pests, so they are treated as vermin rather than wildlife. Nearly one-half the size of adult males, females lack the male's ruff (long hairs around the neck), but otherwise they are similar in appearance. The basic unit is a harem - one dominant male surrounding himself with a number of breeding females. Their mating is frequent but for very short bursts at a time, usually only about 15 - 20 seconds. They breed at any time of the year and their gestation period is about 6 months Baboons sleep, travel, feed and socialize together in groups of about 50 individuals, consisting of seven to eight males and approximately twice as many females plus their young. These family units of females, juveniles and infants form the stable core of a troop, with a ranking system that elevates certain females as leaders. A troop's home range is well-defined but does not appear to have territorial borders. It often overlaps with the range of other baboons, but the troops seem to avoid meeting one another

International Primate Protection League SINCE 1973: WORKING TO PROTECT GIBBONS AND ALL LIVING PRIMATES MEET THE CARE BABOONS! by Gien Elsas On the banks of the Olifants River (Elephant River) in South Africa's Northern Province lives a remarkable woman who started an even more remarkable animal adventure several years ago which has led to the founding of C.A.R.E. (Center for Animal Rehabilitation and Education). Rita Miljo did not always live on the banks of this river in what must be one of the warmest places in South Africa. She was once a career woman who lived and worked in Johannesburg and who literally used to fly places when the mood took her, in her own small aeroplane. On one of her trips to Namibia she met Bobby and her life, as she knew it, changed. Bobby was a young female chacma baboon who was kept at an army base as a mascot. She was in an unhappy state and was not getting the care she deserved. Before she knew it, Rita heard herself say that she would take Bobby and look after her. Bobby came home with Rita who soon realized how intelligent this indigenous primate was. Other people heard of Rita and Bobby and, before she knew it, people were phoning her for advice on how to rear orphaned baboons and several landed on her doorstep for fostering. After observing them and watching how inbred some of their behavior was, Rita soon realized that she would be able to rehabilitate these animals and decided to move to Phalaborwa where the baboons would be closer to nature and would be able to see wild baboons, hippos, elephants, predators, crocodiles and other animals and get used to them as they would be common sights in the wild.

BABOON NATURAL HISTORY They are considered monkeys, but baboons ( Papio spp., Nyani) are considerably larger than other members of the family (such as the vervet monkey There are about eight species of baboons, but their ranges do not overlap. The yellow baboon ( P. cynocephalus ) is the species prevalent in East Africa. It has a slender build and a gray color above but a lighter shade elsewhere, especially the cheeks. The similar-looking chacma baboon ( P. ursinus ) is the species of southern Africa. The Neumann's or olive baboon ( P. anubis ) is the most widespread, ranging through arid areas of the southern Sahara. The olive Baboon is thick-set, has an olive-gray shaggy coat, and a rich mane over the shoulders and cheeks. Baboons are highly successful and widespread primates of Africa and Asia. The many species vary considerably in size but otherwise look alike. Baboons have a doglike muzzle, large cheek pouches and a short tail. Males have long incisors which are very effective both in threat displays and fights. They are the largest African savanna monkey: a big male can stand five feet (1.5 m) and weigh over 60 pounds (27 kg) but baboons of all sizes occur in a troop.

Our rehab concentrates on chacma baboons - raising orphaned babies to adulthood, and releasing new troops into wilderness areas. You may have seen us recently on the Animal Planet 'Growing Up Baboon' programme. In 2002, we released thirty-five rehabilitated baboons into a large Conservancy area. As the Conservancy was in the process of applying to be classified as a World Heritage site, we were confident that the two troops of animals would be safe and protected.
