Olive Baboon |
Papio anubis |
|
Olive Baboons are in abundance near the lodges at Amboseli National Park, Kenya. |
The coat has a greenish cast to which the name 'Olive' refers. Baboons are omnivores that can modify their food-searching habits to what is available. Thus they are frequent in many habitat types and are quick to learn how to exploit a novel food source, including those intended for humans.
