Yellow baboon

The yellow baboon is a slender, long-limbed monkey with yellowish fur and a distinctive black, hairless face. Males stand about 84 cm tall, while females are smaller. These social primates live in savannas and woodlands, recognized by their white sideburns and tails nearly as long as their bodies.

• Their scientific name 'cynocephalus' means 'dog-head,' referring to their muzzle shape.
• Males can reach 84 cm tall, with tails almost matching their body length.
• In the wild, they typically live 15–20 years, sometimes reaching 30.
