Baboon

overview

Baboons are highly intelligent and social primates found across Africa and southern parts of Asia, known for their expressive faces and complex behaviors. With their long jaws, and large cheek pockets to store food, they are uniquely adapted to a variety of environments, from savannas to rocky cliffs! Living in large troops, baboons have intricate social structures, using vocalizations and body language to communicate and maintain group harmony.
