Baboons spend most of their days foraging for food leaving their regular roosting place in the morning and returning at dusk. The period before bed time is usually a time for games, grooming and ‘adult’ activities.
Grooming not only serves as a way to remove parasites but it also secures the bond between family members. Apart from the fun and games, family disputes are also resolved with members chasing each other around and settling some unfinished matters before going to bed. Suppose the saying never go to bed angry, counts for Baboons as well.

Were you being serious about the male baboon not “cheating” on the female but “probably because she’s watching”?
Kevin,
Male baboons will usually mate with numerous females in the troop.
