Synopsis

Living high up in the Ethiopian Highlands, gelada baboons have to survive on a meagre diet of grass. To extract enough energy from such a poor diet, they have to spend much of their time grazing. Consequently, energy isn't wasted on trivial disputes so when tensions rise between dominant males, face-pulling is the preferred method of suppression.
