Olive baboon

The olive baboon is a clever Old World monkey with a greenish-grey coat that blends into the African landscape. It lives in more places than any other baboon, from Mali to Tanzania, even in some Sahara mountains. These monkeys chat with sounds and gestures, keeping their busy social groups running smoothly.

• Its fur looks green-grey from far away, like dusty olives.
• Babbles, grunts, and body language help them stay organized.
• Found in 25 African countries, more widespread than other baboons.
