Measures were taken from N = 17 adult females, N = 8 subadult males, and N = 37 adult male Guinea baboons, except where indicated (*N = 36). Canine measurements were confined to subjects with unchipped teeth in good condition (N = 9 adult females, N = 8 subadult males, N = 18 adult males). Mean values from left and right limbs and teeth were calculated for each subject. Body measurements followed Pfefferle and Fischer (2006). Canine Height is measured from the apex to the gum.
