Tail injury.

• by Batfan

  This is the fourth clip I've come across in which there's a baboon with a tail injury (the others being ACP000d97s, ACP000d99v and ACP000dal0). Do you reckon it could be the same one, or is it an injury that occurs quite frequently?

  Hmm, it looks like 2 of them have shortened tails in ACP000d99v I can't tell if any of them are the same though. Bitten off in a scuffle maybe?

  Yes, you're right. There do appear to be two with tail injuries in that shot. Perhaps its more common than I thought.

  In ACP000cykf, we also can see two baboons with missing tail tips.
