Chacma baboons mating at Cape Point in South Africa. Baboon mating behavior varies greatly depending on the social structure of the troop. In the mixed groups of savanna baboons, each male can mate with any female. The mating order among the males depends partially on their social ranking, and fights between males are not unusual.
The baboon's drinking activities also depend on the season. During the wet seasons, the baboon do not have to go far to find pools of water. During the dry seasons, they frequent up to three permanent waterholes.

This shows that the mate guarding tactic can be ...

Located primarily in southern Africa, the chacma baboon has a wide variety of social behaviours, including a dominance hierarchy, collective foraging, adoption of young by females, and friendship pai
In baboons, the more mature and dominant males mate most repetitively with the most receptive females at peak swelling. Young males get access to mate, though much less frequently, and only within the confines of female baboon mating strategy, which advantages non-conceptive mounting as a defense against them.
