Baboon, Rock

by Sheldon Morris

Rock baboons are a larger and more intelligent variety of baboon. While they are omnivores, they have a definite preference for meat, and have learned how to use clubs of wood or bone. Their social structure consists of packs of up to 30 members which are lead by the dominate alpha male. Rock baboons possess a basic capability to communicate simple warnings and needs to each other.

Fierce Intimidation. Rock baboons are cautious to engage in a fight, but their notion of cautious is loud, frantic, and ferocious. They usually do their best to intimidate an adversary into backing down through displays of noise; screaming, beating their chest, ground, and plants, and by throwing whatever they can grab into the air. It is a common sight since rock baboons have vicious tempers. If the display of intimidation is unsuccessful then a fight is a possibility.
