SAFARI  Ethiopia - Gelada Baboons

The gelada, sometimes called the gelada baboon and bleeding-heart baboon, is a species of monkey found only in the high grassland of the deep gorges of the central Ethiopian plateau. The gelada baboon is one of Ethiopia’s most fascinating endemic mammals. In fact not a baboon at all, it makes up its own genus of monkey.
Of all the nonhuman primates, it’s by far the most dexterous. It also lives in the largest social groups (up to 800 have been recorded), and is the only primate that feeds on grass and has its ‘mating skin’ on its chest and not on its bottom – a convenient adaptation, given that is spends most of its time sitting!
