Baboons live in close proximity to family, friends and enemies. Female baboons are particularly close to their maternal relatives. Male baboons live in specific groups called troops their entire lives. The size of the groups range from 10 to 200 animals, depending on the number of fertile females in a group.Baboons are hierarchical. High ranking females have more access to food and water sources and more freedom to do what they want within their group. High ranking males have an advantage finding a mate, although low ranking males sometimes form groups in attempts to overtake higher ranking males.Princeton University: Baboon Social Life
