The month of September is about to get wild each Saturday on the National Geographic channel! The fun starts tonight with a show called “Swamp of the Baboons”, which takes a look at the complex social network of baboons in Botswana.
It’s really interesting, with sexual domination and role playing being a central role in their survival! Among the forested islands and wildlife-rich floodplains of Botswana lies the highest concentration of baboons in Africa. Here, well meet an alpha male named Boro and follow his daily struggle to maintain authority and protect his kids. Family drama unfolds when Boro is challenged and defeated by a hostile baboon outsider, and suffers the loss of his son to disease.
To learn more about the program visit Swamp of the Baboons online, and be sure to tune in tonight at 8 PM (Eastern time).
