Ethiopian Wolves & Monkeys, Living in Harmony - Jeff Kerby
Wolves and monkeys seem like unlikely life partners. But high on an Ethiopian plateau, a truce has been negotiated between the primates and canines that live there. National Geographic grantee and biologist Jeff Kerby studies the gelada "baboons" that graze the highlands in large herds eating grasses, "like horses". Wolves walk among the monkeys, looking for small rodents to eat that live in the grasses. Kerby explains that the only violence that typically takes place is monkey-on-monkey, when the males fight over females, using their ferocious looking teeth to establish dominance.
