    Hey friends! We have many more breathtaking and mind-boggling insights into the hunting strategies, skills & tricks of lions! Watch how they try the allegedly impossible giraffe hunt here: ua-cam.com/video/sIg2fpUQtiI/v-deo.html

      I don't understand the constant use of the word betrayal in this. What had the animals benefiting from the baboon alarm system, been doing symbiotically to help the baboons? I honestly dont know, so this is not a rhetorical question just an honest one to gain knowledge.
      To me this is evolution at its finest, and a prime example of mother nature's majesty and beauty. Betrayal just seems like a ugly representation of just how amazing an adaptation this is in my humble opinion. Thanks for the video either way it was fascinating!

      most herbivores go back to drinking once the lioness has caught any sizeable prey anyway. baboons probably just took it a step further and helped repeat the pattern. also, it's not like we actually know what the baboons or lions are thinking... baboons aren't getting paid to be an early warning system for these other drinkers, so they must've figured out they could alert their troop without alerting everyone else.

      The lions know it's in their best interest, because most bodies of water in Africa are infested with crocodiles and/or hippos, both of which are deadly to lions. It's mutually beneficial. The lions get free water, that they don't have to risk their lives to drink, and the baboon troop basically gets free protection from the pride.

      It's better defined as a "mutualistic relationship", aka both parties benefit.
      The fact is, a whole lot of savannah animals have a commensal relationship with baboons, meaning that the other parties benefit but the baboon sees little to no benefit with their alerting of predators. For unknown reasons, the baboons of this group decided that traditional commensal relationship wasn't benefitting them like this one does. I'd love to know how the baboons not only decided to enter this relationship with these lions, but also how they convinced the lions to enter it as well, but that would mean a whole lot more work for the zoologists who study this.

      But also:
      "Self-preservation is also thought by some to be the basis of rational and logical thought and behavior."
      Basic instincts do not exist in a vacuum. In a complex, intelligent animal, instincts are wired into a brain that also contains a frontal cortex and rational thought. So there's definitely interplay between the two.
      Also from the wiki article: "However, when introduced to a novel threat, many species will have a self-preservation response either too specialised, or not specialised enough, to cope with that particular threat."
      This is why enhanced intelligence makes the survival instinct more effective. Because it's an adaptation to increase the complexity and flexibility of your response to threats.

      Now do you know this? The bee-eater also has a sinister side of the situation. If you double cross the bee-eater and leave nothing (no honey) for the bird, it has a way of punishing you. Next time it may lead you to a dangerous situation, to a snake or a dangerous animal.
      Problem is, since it cannot recognise one human from another, the victim might be someone different altogether.
      So next time you follow a bee-eater, be very alert.
      If you or anyone does not trust me on this one, please ask any African honey collector who usually follows bee-eaters.

    2.) Does the resident male lion accept this arrangement? They tend to be more aggressive
    3.) I wonder if this has ever occured before in nature and if baboons have done this with other predators (hyenas, wild dogs, leopards, etc)

    • @Stoffies123
      @Stoffies123 2 роки тому +26

      1. The baboons probably did it accidentally the first few times and then realized that they can survive by helping the lions.
      2. He probably realized that its mutually beneficial for both his pride and the baboons / he realized that its easier and the kodoe is a lot more food.
      3. It has probably occurred somewhere else in the wild. But no, they only do this with the lion, because they can fight the cheetah, caracal and other predators in Africa. And leopards aren't social enough. (leopards are also weary of baboons, because baboons are in family groups)

      @Jerry-br6nw Рік тому +11

      Good questions, here are some possible answers...
      1) Baboons aren't as frightful as you think and they can adapt easily. For example, humans hunt baboons but baboons in areas where humans don't hunt them are not afraid of them anymore. All animals can adapt like this, but baboons perhaps faster. The alliance probably started simply because it was extremely successful, a satisfied lion will not waste energy chasing a baboon which is difficult to catch and does not have as much meat as other prey.
      2) has been plausibly answered by another commenter, personally I don't know what a male lion would do in this situation, I don't know if it would be a problem or not.
      3) the trick the baboons are using relies on an ambush. Lions are ambush predators and the same technique would not work with pursuit predators such as hyenas and wild dogs. Leopards are ambush predators but they are baboons' number one predator, I doubt they would ever risk such an alliance with them. They would be lucky to spot the leopard to begin with. Leopards prefer smaller prey and can catch them in the trees with ease.
      Anyway, those are just some ideas however I don't really know the answers and have many questions of my own. Good luck brother.
