Monkey Fact Monday!

Heres this weeks Monkey Fact Monday post about Baboons!

'Ello monkeys! MiniJ here! I’m here to talk about…..Baboons! :D
Baboons are old world monkeys who live naturally in Africa and Asia, and also are some of the largest primates. They mostly live in brush or grassy areas.
Baboons are terrestrial, which means they live on the ground, but still love to play in the trees. They are omnivorous, which means they eat both meat and plants, but prefer crop foods such as fruits.
There are five different species of baboons. The smallest, the Guinea Baboon, has a body length of about 20 inches and weighs about 30 lbs, while the largest, the Chacma Baboon, has a body length of about 47 inches and can weigh up to 90 lbs!
Baboons can live in large or small troops of about 15-250 monkeys, but usually have about 50 to 60 individuals. Wow!
 
Baboons have long tails and can have fur colors from a light gray to a lightish orange looking color. They have four very large, sharp teeth with smaller ones surrounding them, and long snouts.
Most baboons live to be between 35-45 years of age, depending on the type. Baboons do not mate for life, and will usually only have one offspring at a time.
Baboons also walk sort of funny, because of the lengths of their legs. :P
Hope this helped you learn more about the baboon! Bye! :P
