Comment

Being some of the most identifiable of the primate world, Baboons have tufts of hair on either side of their faces, long dog-like muzzles and powerful jaws. Also, their most well-known feature is their large, hairless bottoms. They are very social creatures and a troop can consist of anything from 12 to hundreds of members who groom, sleep together and protect each other. This particular monkey also has at least 10 different vocalisations which they use to communicate within their troops.
