Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Male chimpanzees are known to form cooperative alliances to maintain their positions in the hierarchy. They will form alliances with other males and engage in cooperative behaviors such as grooming, sharing food, and protecting each other from rivals. This is in contrast to species such as baboons, where males tend to be more competitive and aggressive towards each other. Economic incentives and reciprocal favors are not typically seen in non-human primate societies.
