Olive Baboon

Olive Baboon

The olive baboon is an Old World Monkey found in 25 countries throughout Africa, making it the most widely ranging of all Baboons. It is named for its coat, which, at a distance, is a shade of green-grey. At closer range, its coat is multi-colored, due to rings of yellow-brown and black on the hairs. It is omnivorous, finding nutrition in almost any environment, and able to adapt with different foraging tactics.
