Olive Baboon

Interesting fact about the olive baboon:
The scientific name—Papio anubis—comes from the olive baboon's striking similarity to the Egyptian god, Anubis. Anubis had the face of a dog with a long snout. In Nigeria, olive baboon populations are known to swim and dive underwater, which is unusual for many primate species.

A wonderful capture of this group - so amazing that they are all sitting and facing in one way only ( no looking at one another !! )

Thank you for sharing this with us. I enjoyed learning about them swimming and diving. There’s ape called bonono that has super interesting cultural behaviors
