The
olive baboon (
Papio anubis) is an
Old World monkey found in 25 countries throughout Africa, making it the most widely ranging of all
baboons. It is named for its coat, which, at a distance, is a shade of green-grey. At closer range, its coat is multi-colored, due to rings of yellow-brown and black on the hairs. It is
omnivorous, finding nutrition in almost any environment, and able to adapt with different
foraging tactics.
