One-male group

Gelada Baboon Male
Hamadryas Baboon Male

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 be seen in many species of primates, including the gelada baboon,[1] the patas monkey, savanna baboon,[2] sun-tailed monkey, golden snub-nosed monkey, and the hamadryas baboon.[3] There are costs and benefits for individuals living in one-male groups.[4][5] As well, individuals within one-male groups can interact with each other just like individuals can interact with those from different one-male groups.[1][6]
