The bullied
Guinea baboons (Papio papio) display a wide range of social behaviours. They sometimes chase and aggress each other.
Here, this young male is being intimidated by another. He displays a typical expression of fear toward his aggressor: baring his teeth and emitting loud, high-pitched screams. He is also preparing to run, as the intimidation is usually followed by a chase.
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.
