While visiting the Southwick Zoo we were treated to an interesting display by the male Mandrill Baboon. He seemed annoyed with all of the humans watching him and felt the need to show us who was really in charge. I think the female may have been trying to distract him in order to protect the baby.

  • Right to people who don't know what's going on!!

    READ:

    He is trying to get to the young either he wants to kill it because he suspects its not his or he just wants to see it, he is being agressive and dominant!

    She is trying to protect the young by 'bargining' with sex. She mates hoping he will leave her alone. Shes presenting herself to keep him away from the young.

  • @xxHannahBumbleBeeexx yeah right. she wants some sex man.

  • @xxHannahBumbleBeeexx That all makes sense... But in a way you have to understand that only humans laugh. Laughing has multiple meanings. You may do animal behavior, but there is also human behavior which is unique in multiple ways.

  • @xxHannahBumbleBeeexx so true! I have often felt that it was horrific myself! BC unfortunatley I was once a young mother, remarried and I felt the same way about protecting my children. I got out of that marriage, but this female mandrill and many other monkeys, esp in zoos, cannot escape! I have often seen these videos and thought, "wow! just like a few jerk men I have witnessed in life!
