Summary:Sorry, there is no abstract. Read the first few lines of the text instead! Core dry-season foods consumed by free-ranging, adult male yellow baboons (Papio hamadryas cynocephalus) in Ruaha National Park, Tanzania are described. For each food I provide (1) the total number of grams consumed, (2) the total number of minutes used and (3) the estimated grams obtained per minute of handling. I hypothesize purposeful encounter for predictable foods that either use a relatively large proportion of feeding time or provide a relatively high number of grams per minute handling.
