	Gelada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While the Gelada is restricted to Ethiopia and Eritrea today, fossils of the genus are known from South Africa, Malawi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, Algeria, Morocco, Spain, and India.
		This is thought to be similar to the swelling on the buttocks during oestrus that is common to all baboons.
		The Gelada is primarily a grass-eater, eating every part of the plant, from the seeds, to the roots, to the stalk.

	Gelada Baboon
		Gelada (pronounced "jeh-LAH-da") baboons are highly social and live in established family units with one adult male, three to six females, and their young.
		Geladas are not territorial and it is not uncommon to find congregations of separate units feeding together.
		Gelada baboons are relatively large primates, the average male is about 30 inches tall and weighs 65-80 pounds; females are about half that size.

	Simmons: Graminivorous Adaptations of Theropithecus gelada
		The opposability index of the gelada thumb and forefinger and the robusticity index (diameter of fingers relative to length) are the highest among all nonhuman primates (Dunbar 1984).
		Even in the gelada population observed by Crook, a population which occupied both a gallery forest and plowed agricultural lands, the gelada preferred to scavenge for grasses on the plowed lands rather than make use of the foods in the forest.
		Gelada spend much more time feeding during the afternoon than do the other species; their mornings are exclusively social, while anubis baboons tend to have intervals of activity spaced throughout the day.

	Gelada Baboon (Theropithecus gelada)
		The average body mass for an adult male gelada baboon is around 20 kilograms, and for the female it is between 13 and 16 kilograms.
		The basic unit of the gelada baboon social structure is the unimale group which consists of one male and several females.
		This call is emitted by all gelada baboons except adult males, and functions as an alarm signal especially to a sudden disturbance (Estes, 1991).

		Gelada's distant relatives were able to fill in some history gaps for him.

		Gelada baboons (Theropiticus gelada) are the most exaggerated of all primates in bodily form, and are so extreme that they no longer resemble a monkey in any sense.
		Geladas live in the treeless montane grasslands of Ethiopian highlands, where they forage on the ground all day and sleep on rocky cliffs at night.
		Gelada numbers are declining and are threatened with the possibility of extinction, even if not in the foreseeable future.

		Theropithecus gelada, as a gelada is properly called, is the last species in a once great dynasty of grass-grazing primates.
		Although they are not endangered, geladas are considered threatened because of their fragmented habitat and because of Ethiopia's growing human population and expanding farmlands.
		In addition to the gelada, the endangered Walia ibex, the endangered Ethiopian wolf, and the mountain nyala all roam the highland plateaus.

		Gelada baboons are occasionally kept in mixed exhibit together with mountain ungulates, such as Nubian ibex.
		They spend so much of their time sitting, plucking grass that their sexual is very different from that of other baboons: Both sexes have on their chests a patch of pink skin which changes colour and condition as hormone levels fluctuate.

		GELADA, the Abyssinian name of a large species of baboon, differing from the members of the genus Papio (see Baboon) by the nostrils being situated some distance above the extremity of the muzzle, and hence made the type of a separate genus, under the name of Theropithecus gelada.
		The gelada inhabits the mountains of Abyssinia, where, like other baboons, it descends in droves to pillage cultivated lands.

		Gelada baboons are found inhabiting the high grasslands of Ethiopia and Eritrea, especially in the Semien Mountains National Park.
		Geladas prefer to sleep on rocky cliffs,(its a great way to avoid intruders like the Ethiopian wolf) from which they descend in the morning to go foraging in the nearby grasslands.
		Most of the gelada populations are found foraging in grasslands between 2,000 and 5,000 meters (Stammbach, 1987).

		This is the major difference between the gelada and hamadryas baboons.
		The Gelada baboons are organized similarly to the hamadryas baboon, but the organization differs in that the gelada is a matrilineal society.
		Another differing characteristic of the gelada and the hamadryas is that the male hamadryas cannot switch units, however the gelada male does switch units.
