Baboon

Baboons are large, long-muzzled monkeys native to parts of Africa and Arabia. They commonly travel on the ground in social groups, using varied foods such as grasses, seeds, fruit and small animals. Their sturdy limbs support life in open and wooded habitats. Group relationships are maintained through grooming, contact calls and other social behavior. Food and water strongly influence daily movements. The name covers several species with different coat colors, social arrangements and geographic ranges rather than one uniform animal.
