      Did you have any particular problems in mind? Where I work, it is very hot some times of year, and the baboons do behave very differently then. They have to cover more ground each day to find enough food, because a lot of the leaves and seeds that they eat aren’t available in the dry, hot weather. They usually stop and rest in the middle of the day when it’s the hottest, which is a relief for us as we really need a break too!
