Fig. 5: Baboon behaviours and feeding tasks vary in their compatibilities with looking.
From: Behavioural compatibility, not fear, best predicts the looking patterns of chacma baboons
a Self-grooming and allogrooming were associated with lower durations of looking. b Digging and searching the substrate for food items were associated with lower durations of looking. c Picking was associated with more frequent bouts of looking. d Although handling food items was associated with lower durations of looking, these tasks could promote momentary opportunities for looking that could be used to monitor within-group threats, as shown in (e). Items processed using the teeth, such as large fruits (as shown in f), corms, succulent leaves, and seeds (especially from Acacia sieberiana subsp. woodie and Dichrostachys cinerea subsp. Africana – as shown in g) were associated with a greater frequency of looking bouts.
