Papio anubis[1] (Lesson, 1827) Geographic range. The olive baboon (Papio anubis), also called the Anubis baboon, is a member of the family Cercopithecidae Old World monkeys. The species is the most wide-ranging of all baboons, [3] being native to 25 countries throughout Africa, extending from Mali eastward to Ethiopia [4] and Tanzania.
Previously five species of baboon were recognised; the Kinda baboon has gained support for its species status after phylogenetic studies of all members of Papio. [18] [19] Many authors distinguish P. hamadryas as a full species, but regard all the others as subspecies of P. cynocephalus and refer to them collectively as "savanna baboons". This ...

Yellow baboons have slim bodies with long arms and legs along with yellowish-brown hair. They resemble the chacma baboon, but are somewhat smaller and with a less ...
The chacma baboon (Papio ursinus), also known as the Cape baboon, is, like all other baboons, from the Old World monkey family. It is one of the largest of all monkeys. Located primarily in southern Africa, the chacma baboon has a wide variety of social behaviours, including a dominance hierarchy, collective foraging, adoption of young by females, and friendship pai
The Guinea baboon (Papio papio) is a baboon from the Old World monkey family. Some (older) classifications list only two species in the genus Papio , this one and the hamadryas baboon . In those classifications, all other Papio species are considered subspecies of P. papio and the species is called the savanna baboon .
The hamadryas baboon (Papio hamadryas / ˌhæməˈdraɪ.əs /; [ 4 ] Tigrinya: ጋውና gawina; [ 5 ] Arabic: الرُبَّاح, Al Robah) is a species of baboon within the Old World monkey family.

Old World monkeys are primates in the family Cercopithecidae (/ ˌsɜːrkoʊpɪˈθɛsɪdiː /). Twenty-four genera and 138 species are recognized, making it the largest primate family. Old World monkey genera include baboons (genus Papio), red colobus (genus Piliocolobus), and macaques (genus Macaca). Common names for other Old World monkeys ...
The Kinda baboon (Papio kindae) is a species of baboon present in the miombo woodlands of Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Zambia, and possibly western Tanzania. It was once considered a subspecies of the yellow baboon ( P. cynocephalus ), then distinct enough to merit status as full species ( P. kindae ) under the phylogenetic ...
