A baby baboon stays close to its mother. When grown, females stay with the troop, but many males leave to find a new group.
Scientists believe that humans are related to apes and monkeys. Just compare these skulls, and you’ll see why.
The male mandrill, a relative of the baboon and the largest of all monkeys, has a brightly coloured face.
Young monkeys, apes and humans learn skills through play.
In the African savannah, baboons forage for food on the ground, but sleep in trees for safety.
Video: You might not expect to see these faces on the Africa savannah. But unlike other monkeys, baboons live on the ground.
Advice: If a baboon grins at you, it’s not amused. It’s angry. Back away slowly. If you turn your back on one, you may get a nasty bite in the backside! They also throw stones and other things.
Next: A baboon has to be constantly on the lookout. This monkey is the favourite food of many leopards.
