Hypothesis: Baboons are more active when the temperature is above 76 degrees Fahrenheit. Summary of Findings: In the observation of 10 different images of animals in the Savanna, a Baboon was shown 70% of the time. In the images with a Baboon present, the temperature was not below 77 nor above 89 degrees Fahrenheit. In the data that showed lower temperatures, below 77 o F, Baboons are not present. Thus, leading to a conclusion that Baboons are more active when temperatures are above 76 degrees Fahrenheit.
