	Baboon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Baboons are terrestrial (ground dwelling) and are found in savanna, open woodland and hills across Africa.
		Baboons in captivity have been known to live up to 45 years, while in the wild their life expectancy is about 30 years.
		In baboons males leave their birth group, usually before they reach sexual maturity, whereas females are 'philopatric' and stay in the same group their whole life.

	Baboon facts
		Apart from humans, baboons are the most adaptable of the ground-dwelling primates and live in a wide variety of habitats.
		Baboons sleep, travel, feed and socialize together in groups of about 50 individuals, consisting of seven to eight males and approximately twice as many females plus their young.
		By the time the young baboon is 5 to 6 weeks old it can ride on her back, hanging on by all four limbs; in a few months it rides jockey style, sitting upright.

		Baboons are omnivores and consume a huge variety of items including roots, tubers, corms, fruits, leaves, flowers, buds, seeds, bark, exudates, cacti, grasses, insects, birds, bird eggs, and vertebrates (including other primates) up to the size of a small antelope (Rowell 1966; Dunbar and Dunbar 1974; Harding 1976; Whiten et al.
		Some of the known predators of baboons include large cats, which have a difficult time scaling rocky walls because they cannot find holdings for their paws as well as baboons can for their hands and feet, explaining why cliffs and rocky ledges are preferred to trees when both are available (Hamilton 1982).

	The Effects of Interbreeding on the Morphological and Genetic Attributes of Non-human Primates / Beth Christine Laas
		According to their 1991 field observations, Phillips-Conroy and Jolly found the baboon groups that were toward either end of the hamadryas or anubis extreme being replaced by groups of hybrid individuals (363-4).
		It seems also that gene flow around the borders between hamadryas and anubis groups could possibly be caused by the kidnapping of anubis females; however, the fact that a group formed of almost pure anubis that consisted of almost pure anubis genes only by one-way gene flow suggests something else.
		The anubis baboons are vulnerable to periods of drought, and they suffer more than the hamadryas, in that they may experience a much higher rate of dental problems resulting from starvation or malnutrition (Phillips-Conroy 1978).

	ADW: Papio hamadryas: Information
		It is likely, that as in anubis baboons, differences between females in the length of the interbirth interval are related to differences in nutritional status or social stress levels.
		As is the case for all baboons, infants are very attractive to other members of the social group, and are the focus of a great deal of investigation and attention, especially while they are still displaying their fl natal coat.
		Although anubis baboon males possess the same basic behaviors that would allow the males of this species to form one-male-units, there are significant differences in expression between the two species which make it impossible for male anubis baboons migrating into hamadryas territory to successfully maintain a harem of females.

		The anubis baboon is another species that may have occurred in Egypt during predynastic times and, taking its modern distribution and habitat requirements into account, it may have lived in the Nile Valley of Upper Egypt.
		The most common pathologies observed among the baboons are fractures on the hand and foot bones that must have resulted from capture or from the conditions in captivity.

		Hamadryas society is structured around permanent one-male harems, while in anubis baboon males compete for access to estrous females.
		These results were supported by Earthwatch volunteers who assisted Phillips-Conroy and Jolly from 1983 to 1990, in their capture studies investigating the hybrid zone between hamadryas and anubis baboons.
		Their studies have yielded other important findings, most recently the documentation of "couch baboons," baboons that are relatively inactive and experience symptoms reminiscent of human obesity, with implications for the understanding of diabetes.

		Although the baboon is a rather large monkey with a strong build, males range from about 59 to 97 pounds, and females weighe between 31 and 37 pounds.
		Depending on the subspecies, Savannah baboons vary in body color: Olive baboons are olive-brown in color, Yellow baboons are yellow, Guinea baboons are reddish-brown, and Chacma Baboons are greenish-brown.
