Baboons give sex treats

Why alpha-male baboons allow subordinates sex treats - life - 11 January 2010 - New Scientist

“Chacma baboons have a despotic social structure in which a single alpha male can almost completely monopolise mating opportunities by guarding females during their oestrus periods. Yet Barrett found that subordinate males in the De Hoop troop fathered 23 of 64 offspring during that time.

Closer analysis showed that this was not because the alpha male was too tired, too busy, or too inexperienced to guard the females. Instead, he appeared to be willingly ceding copulations to subordinate males.”

Look, even Obama’s got involved.  He, like us, does not condone inter-species fighting. We bet he’d like to know who’d win though.*

*We are speaking very much on behalf of Obama without him knowing, and are sure he’s never thought about who would win in a fight between a baboon and a badger. Maybe he should.
