ABSTRACT
It had been a typical day with the baboons. In the morning, they climbed down from the cluster of trees they had slept in that night and set out at a leisurely pace across the savanna (Figure 4.1). Along the way, they gobbled up caterpillars that were sunning themselves in the tall grass and munched on the corms, or the underground storage organs of the savanna grasses, they paused to dig up. I was with Jeffrey Stelzner, the Cornell University graduate student on whose doctoral study I had been assigned to assist.
