A team of researchers followed the same two troops of baboons for several months.What they noticed was that like humans, baboons rarely left their original groups.To prove if their observations were correct, the researchers conducted an experiment.

They began by placing some foods that the baboons had never seen before on the edge of paths the animals frequently crossed.The researchers recorded the time it took a baboon to get close enough to examine the new foods and the time for ones that had the courage to taste them.Sure enough, the most curious and daring baboons all belonged to the same group.What did surprise the scientists was that the baboons with similar personalities hung out together, regardless of whether they were male or female.

The researchers say this behavior is not a good sign for the animals, because the daring and curious baboons are also good problem solvers.The scientists worry that if the baboons share new problem­solving skills with only their group, it leaves the rest of the species vulnerable to any environmental changes or enemies.

Unfortunately, baboons are not the only animals that form cliques.In another study, the scientists divided 80 fish into two groups.After about three weeks，the fish were rearranged into smaller groups of ten.The researchers observed that many of the fish that had spent time together in
