African Baboon

Baboons are the largest and most terrestrial of the Cercopithecidae family. They are heavy shouldered with rounded heads and protruding muzzles. Their arm bones are relatively longer than other Cercopithecidae. Their coat is shaggy and the colour varies from the yellow baboon’s (Papio cynocephalus) light sandy yellow to the almost olive green of the olive baboon (Papio anubis). They have short tails.

There are five main species of baboon but only common baboons Cynocephalusare found in East Africa. Yellow baboons live in lowland areas of East and Central Africa: olive baboons prefer highland regions of East Africa.

Baboons can be seen virtually anywhere in grassland and wooded grassland where perennial water and adequate forage can be found. They are strictly diurnal and will sleep in trees at night.
