One-male groups are a type of social organization where one male interacts with a group of females and their immature offspring. Offspring of both sexes are evicted from the group upon reaching puberty. It can been seen in many species of primates, including the Gelada baboon, the Patas Monkey, and the Hamadryas baboon.^[1]
