Landscape‐Scale Effects of Season and Predation Risk on the Terrestrial Behavior of Chacma Baboons (<i>Papio ursinus</i>)
Baboons likely use the ground more in the dry season for accessing water and resources when arboreal foods are less abundant. Diel variation between the two populations suggests that baboons might utilize the ground more during "riskier" crepuscular and nocturnal hours where leopards are not present.
