The Geladas graze alongside Walia ibex, which are also unique to these highlands. These rare creatures are usually very shy but they drop their guard when the Geladas are around. You might expect that grazers would avoid each other's patch but this is a special alliance from which both partners benefit. It's not so risky to put your head down if others are on the lookout. Ethiopian wolves - they won't attempt an attack in broad daylight. But at dusk the plateau becomes a more dangerous place. With the grazing largely over there's a last chance to socialise before returning to the sleeping cliffs. An early warning system puts everyone on the alert. Their day ends as it began, safe on the steep cliffs.
它们和野山羊一起吃草，这种野山羊也是埃塞俄比亚高原特有的动物。这种野山羊通常十分胆小，但处于群体之中时它们就会放松警惕。你可能会认为食草动物会各有各的领地，但它们却结成特殊的互惠互利的组合，因为你低头吃草时有合作者放哨，危险就会减少。 埃塞俄比亚胡狼白天不敢贸然进攻。但夜幕降临之后，高原就变得异常危险。吃草结束了，回到悬崖睡觉之前，它们还会进行最后的交际活动。早期预警系统让所有狮尾狒都保持警惕。一天的生活在悬崖上开始，也在悬崖上平安结束。
