A Clever Maneuver by a Baboon Troop: Taking Advantage of the Escape of Pounding Dogs!
In primate species, most monkeys are arboreal, whileBaboons mainly live on the groundTherefore, baboons are easily encountered by lions, leopards, hyenas, wild dogs, etc. However, it's difficult for predators to hunt baboons. In the South African Madikwe Game Reserve, there was once a shot of a baboon troop's clever and intelligent trick: using the strength of elephants to drive away a pack of wild dogs, and then attacking the wild dog pack, the wild dog pack had no resistance at all.
On the prairie,African wild dogsare also ferocious carnivorous beasts
They take the form of group cooperation to hunt medium-sized ungulates, with a pursuit speed of up to 45 kilometers per hour, with a high hunting rate, and very smart hunting, often coveting the single large herbivores or cubs, etc.This timeelephants
were so angry that they drove away this pack of wild dogs, naturally feeling the threat of the wild dog pack. When the elephant herd discovered the hostility of the wild dog pack, in order to protect the young elephants from being injured, this adult elephant drove away the wild dogs. In the face of absolute strength, the wild dog pack had no chance, only to flee in a hurry.This is a contest between elephants and wild dogs, but a group of baboons beside them saw the elephants so mighty, and the wild dog pack so embarrassed, the baboon troop also seized the opportunity to join in, preparing to 'beat up the fallen dogs'
because if it weren't for the usual time, if the wild dog pack attacked the baboon troop, the baboons wouldn't be able to compete.Baboon's main enemies are leopards and lions
Wild dogs will not attack baboonsbecause baboon troops are also very cohesive groups. The baboon troop is led by strong male baboons, with female baboons who are responsible for warning the approach of enemies, and when retreating, it is the female baboons and young baboons first, and then the male baboons protect them behind, issuing intimidating roars, and even retaliating, because of their strength and bravery, they pose a threat to the enemy.When baboons are alone, they are also very smart. When male baboons face danger, they don't respond with intimidating methods, or they flee in a hurry. When female baboons face danger, they issue a distress signal to their companions. In terms of reproduction,
baboon cubs have a particularly high survival rate
