"BABOONS...POLITICS IN THE WILD" with Dr. Shirley Strum
What happens when the jungle becomes a parliament? In this episode, world-renowned primatologist Dr. Shirley Strum takes us deep into the lives of baboons—animals whose complex societies mirror the political games, alliances, and betrayals we see in our own world.From power struggles and unexpected leadership shifts to the surprising role of cooperation, Dr. Strum reveals the hidden “politics” that shape baboon troops in the wild. With over 50 years of groundbreaking field research in Kenya, she brings eye-opening stories and insights that challenge everything you thought you knew about these intelligent and often misunderstood animals.Whether you’re fascinated by animal behavior, human parallels, or simply curious about how nature negotiates power, this episode will keep you hooked from start to finish.www.thefurrealpodcast www.baboonsrus.comfb@markakyle ig@thefurrealpodcast ig@markakyle tik tok@thefurrealpodcastUASI NGIRO BABOON PROJECTEchos of our origins: baboons, human and naturehttps://www.amazon.com/s?k=echoes+of+our+origins+baboons%2C+humans%2C+and+nature&crid=27PX3CVY2TMHM&sprefix=Echoes+of+Our+Origins%2Caps%2C324&ref=nb_sb_ss_fb_1_21_p13n-pd-dpltr-rankerSpeical thanks to J Jig Cicero @jjigcicero for our music intro and outro..you rock!!!Special thanks to Jake Olson
