The bully
Guinea baboons (Papio papio) display a wide range of social behaviours. They sometimes chase and aggress each other.
Here, this male is exhibiting an intimidation behaviour: he stands steadily and stares at his target with wide-open eyes. The baboons' eyelids are white, creating a strong threatening effect when they raise their eyebrows high.
This picture was taken in the wild, in Niokolo-Koba National Park, Senegal, where the researchers of the Centre de Recherche de Primatologie Simenti have been following and studying Guinea baboons since 2007.
