Monkeys: kinds, tails and troops, sentence 7
Baboons live in big troops on the ground in Africa, sometimes 50 or more, with a ranking order, so many eyes spot lions and leopards and the troop defends each other; big males have teeth longer than a lion's, so never feed them or open car windows.
Who acts: Baboons, many eyes, troop, big males · What happens: live, spot, defend, have, not feed, open · To what, where: big troops, lions, each, teeth, car windows
