NATURE | Clever Monkeys | Baboon Hunts Baby Gazelle | PBS

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/episodes/clever-monkeys/introduction/3946/?utm... When monkeys left the forest and began living in open grasslands, they had to adapt. Baboons, for example, became more aggressive and predatory. Baboons will move around in groups of about 80 individuals for defense. Often, the larger males will go on offense as well -- chasing away predators or taking down a young gazelle.

"Clever Monkeys" airs on PBS Sunday, February 6, 2011 at 8 p.m. (check local listings).

Narrated by F. Murray Abraham, "Clever Monkeys" is part of the 28th season of the Peabody and Emmy award-winning series produced by Thirteen in association with WNET.ORG for PBS. Major support provided by Canon U.S.A. Inc. For more information, visit http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/episodes/clever-monkeys/introduction/3946/?utm...
