Happy international primate day!
We study the behavior of Guinea baboons at the fieldsite CRP Simenti in the Niokolo Nationalpark in Senegal.

Many thanks to @juditstolla.bsky.social for the lovely photo!

Three Guinea baboons are sitting on a stone wall with green bushes in the background. The one on the left is a juvenile lifting his foot. Next to him sits a male which is eating a palmnut. He holds the palmnut with his two hands and his right foot. A second male sits across from him. A group of Guinea baboons walks through a lush green field surrounded by trees and bushes, followed by researcher Carolin Niederbremer (in the center of the photo) and two park agents (right side of the photo, covered by leaves).

Excited to be back in Simenti for my final field season! 🐒🌴🇸🇳 #primates #fieldwork
The picture shows a big open gate with a sign above saying "Parc National du Niokolo Koba". A road is going through the gate and a person walks on the road far in the back. Next to the gate on the left side is a big tree, in the background are more trees and dry gras next to the road. On the left is a palmtree and some bushes. The middle of the picture shows the Gambia river. In the background is the other side of the river with a large Sandbank and many green trees and bushes.

I just found out it's world monkey day 🐒
here are some Guinea baboon pictures 💚

On the left you can see an infant enjoying her rightful place in the spotlight (because both humans AND baboons just love babies), on the right is a kid stuffing her face with food #primates #worldmonkeyday #monkeyday
A guinea baboon infant is looking into the camera with her hand under the head as if she's posing for the camera. The face and handss of the infant are pink, the fur is black. The infant is in the center of the picture, left and right of her is brown fur visible from adult individuals sitting next to her. A juvenile guinea baboon is eating a palmnut. The baboon has a black face and light brown fur. It holds the palmnut with both hands and tries stuffing it into its mouth. The palmnut is green and almost as big as the head of the baboon. The baboon's mouth is wide open and the teeth of the upper jaw are visible, one touth is missing.

That's me collecting data on Guinea baboons at our field site in Simenti, Senegal 🐒

#ScienceInAction
Caro stands facing away from the camera in the center of the picture. She wears white trousers, a green pullover and a black backpack. Left and right of her are Guinea baboons. Guinea baboons are brown with a black long, doglike face. The baboons are hardly visible in the dry grass. In the background are large palm trees and other bushes. Caro walks in the middle of the picture with a phone in her hands. She wears beige trousers, a green shirt, dark green Rainboots, and a black backpack. On her left are two baboons, looking for food. One is standing, the other one sits down. They are in a field, the grass is intensively green (it's fresh Grass at the start of rainy season). In the background of the picture are large dark bushes, the front is green from the gras. Just Infront of the bushes is a large male baboon on the left and a juvenile baboon on the right.

Hi all!

I study the amazing Guinea baboons of Senegal. I am interested in females and their social relationships with a focus on mate competition.
I like climbing and books.

I am looking for other primate people, behavioral biologists and general science nerds.

Here is a picture of some baboons 🐒
Guinea baboons taking a nap on the forest floor in the Niokolo Nationalpark in Sénégal. In the center is a mother, holding her newborn infant in her arms. To her right lies her primary male, on her left lies another female.
