Abstract
In the alpine grasslands of eastern Africa, Ethiopian wolves and gelada monkeys are giving peace a chance. The geladas tolerate wolves wandering right through the middle of their herds. The critically endangered wolves ignore potential meals of baby geladas in favor of rodents, which they can catch more easily when the monkeys are present. Primatologist Vivek Venkataraman at Dartsmouth College in New Hampshire noticed the arrangement at Guassa plateau in the highlands of north-central Ethiopia. Even though the wolves occasionally prey on young sheep and goats, which are as big as young geladas, they don't normally attack the monkeys--and the geladas seem to know that, because they don't run away from the wolves.
