In response to noises and various stimulus, I noticed that the baboons widen their eyes and move their brow bones forward in the direction for two seconds. In the 30 minute period I observed them, this action was accompanied by movement towards the stimuli. I think this is a curiosity/questioning behavior that can be studied over the course of the project.
It is pretty cloudy today. And there has been some light rain on and off. However, while I was observing, there were moments (5-8 mins) of sun. During these breaks in the clouds, the babies seemed to have more activity. So much so, that the mothers use their tails as a leash to keep them reigned in.
Take a look at the photos: Prospect Park Baboons
