Baboon Descent Times 

A study conducted in Amboseli National Park in Kenya observed a baboon troop for several days, recording the time at which half of the troop had descended from the trees in which they slept. On some days the observers arrived early enough to observe this exactly. Other times they arrived after this median descent time, so the day's observation was left censored.
