![]() The smallest size of them is about 50 members. Those that live close to people may go out at night to get the goats or sheep as they can’t get to them during the day. It is believed that their schedule has to do with what they have readily available around them. They can even do both with short naps in between. They can be active at night and sleep all day long. Behaviorīaboons tend to do what they want when they want! They can sleep in the day and look for food at night. The savannah Baboons have evolved though to where the males are stronger and more aggressive than their ancestors. These fossil remains though are larger than the Baboon today so that is something to take a closer look at. However, they don’t tell us much about changes that occurred or why. ![]() Fossils that are about 8 million years old have been found of the Baboon. Yet it is also fascinating and there is hope we will one day find the link in ancestry that ties it all together. The fact that they are so closely related to humans often scares people. There is plenty of debate over the evolution process and the Baboon. They are very strong and powerful primates. You have to take a close look at them to fully appreciate how their body all comes together. All of them have a white mane though that covers them around the head. The coloring for this particular type of Monkey can be very different based on where they are located. It is thick and provides them with a very comfortable position for those long hours of sitting and gazing around. They have a padded area on the buttocks that is free from hair. The Baboon spends lots of time sitting on his buttocks, it appears to be heavily in tough. Yet that has also had a dark side to it in society as many cultures think that the Baboon is evil. They don’t have a diet that is very different so what does this offer them? It certainly gives them an appearance of being mean and that could be and advantage when it comes to predators. You will also notice that the Baboon features teeth that are extremely sharp compared to other Monkeys. However, both genders do have a nose that you can’t help but notice! The males have a nose that can be up to 7 times larger than that of the females. It consumes most of their face and so you can’t overlook exactly what type of Monkey it happens to be. ![]() This one though features a very long and large nose. For example almost all Monkey species have a very flat nose. The Baboon certainly does have many characteristics that are different from other Monkeys. The males tend to have at least 10 pounds on the females so it is very easy to tell the difference between the males and the females when you are looking at them. They can weigh up to 90 pounds with the smaller ones being about 30 pounds. Of the Old World Monkeys, these are the larges of all primates in the world with the exception of human beings. There are 5 species of the Baboon and they are all part of the Old World Monkeys. However, science has placed them into the area of being a Monkey based on a variety of contributing factors. This particular Monkey is often argued to be an Ape instead. Sharing 91% DNA similarities with humans is the Baboon.
