A troop of olive baboons, Papio anubis, has developed systematic predation, which includes hunting and sharing of meat. Although meat-eating among nonhuman primates-baboons and chimpanzees especially-had been discovered in earlier field studies, systematic predation had been reported for chimpanzees and humans only. Starting as an adult male activity in the olive baboon troop, this tradition rapidly expanded to include capture and consumption of prey by adult females and juveniles of all ages and both sexes. Infants eat but have not been observed to capture prey.
一群橄榄狒狒(Papio anubis)已经发展出了系统的捕食行为,包括狩猎和分享肉。虽然在早期的野外研究中已经发现了非人类灵长类动物(狒狒和黑猩猩等)吃肉,但只有在黑猩猩和人类中才报告过系统的捕食行为。这种传统始于成年雄性橄榄狒狒群体的活动,迅速扩展到包括成年雌性和各年龄段的幼崽以及两性的猎物捕获和食用。婴儿会吃肉,但没有观察到它们捕获猎物。
