The typical patch of coloured (red) hairless skin is seen on the baboon's rump. Grooming is an important and regular baboon social activity. It promotes health,and also helps the members of the group to bond. Baboons are large ground-dwelling monkeys with a distinctively elongated snout. They are powerful creatures with long and pointed canines,feeding on animals up to gazelle size (including small monkeys),as well as eggs and plant material. Baboons live in troops,roaming the African steppes and savannah | |
