After a four month pregnancy, the babies are born in spring. They鈥檙e gentle mothers and though they usually only have one baby, this one has twins. Families are very affectionate and stick by each other in times of need. Then these mothers show a very different side to their personality. If there鈥檚 a conflict between the groups, it鈥檚 the females that lead the charge. And these little babies go to the front line with them. They are going on patrol to protect their patch and the babies had better hang on tight. There鈥檚 an air of solidarity and purpose. Their boundaries are clear-cut, but the neighbours have been trespassing. The battle lines are drawn. It gets more and more ferocious and the babies have to cling on for dear life. If they fall they鈥檒l be surrounded by the enemy and probably won鈥檛 survive. Very few animals gang-up like this and go to war to protect their food, but it鈥榮 something that we can easily identify with. One final skirmish and the boundaries are secure. It seems to be all over now and thanks to their strong grip, none of the babies were hurt. They all managed to escape the battle without injury. And now that the group have protected their supply of food, they can get on with the business of eating, tucking into their favourite - the tamarind pods.
