Hamadryas Baboons H amadryas baboons ( Papio hamadryas hamadryas ) range throughout the semi-arid regions of the Horn of Africa, including parts of Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia, Djibouti, and Eritrea, and the southwestern part of the Arabian peninsula in Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Called "desert baboons" to distinguish them ecologically from other Papio baboons ("savanna baboons" and "mountain baboons"), hamadryas are unique among primates with regard to their complex, multi-level social system and their extreme male-dominated society, both of which have been viewed as adaptations to a harsh semi-desert environment. T hree main levels of organization characterize hamadryas baboon society. Troops are large aggregations (usually over 100 individuals) that assemble at sleeping sites but do not otherwise function as cohesive social groups. Each troop includes one or more bands , whose members travel together during the day and coordinate their movements. The band is probably the social grouping analogous to the "troop" of other papionin monkeys. Adult members of different bands rarely interact (and when they do interact, they usually do so agonistically), and, even when two or more bands share a sleeping cliff, each band travels and forages separately from other bands during the day. Within each band are a number of one-male units C A O verall, patterns of hamadryas behavior appears to be largely determined by competition, cooperation, and negotiation among males. Female behavior is less obvious and has not traditionally been thought to contribute greatly to hamadryas social organization. Both studies from captivity and my own ongoing research, however, suggest that social relationships among females and female choice may both play a significant, if subtle, role in hamadryas society.

WildWatch Home CC Africa Lodges CC Africa Travel Subscribe ... Mammals SAVANNAH BABOONS - Life in the Troop Baboons are large terrestrial monkeys confined to Africa. The number of species is disputed, with some authors lumping the Guinea, chacma, olive and yellow baboon as a single species - the 'savanna baboon' - while others regard them as four distinct species. Anatomically and behaviourally, the four are very similar, it is primarily the colour and length of the coat which distinguishes them. There is some overlap in their ranges where hybridisation occurs. The hamadryas or sacred baboon belongs to the same genus - Papio - and shares some traits with the Guinea baboon, including living in small family groups rather than large troops. The sacred baboon occurs in the arid reaches of the Horn of Africa. Life in the troop Baboons live in troops which usually number between 20 and 80 individuals, though bigger groups of well over 100 are known. The troops consist of several 'kinship' groups of adult females and their generations of offspring, as well as a number of mature, sexually-active males.

Until recently all were thought to be separate species. Geladas, though a separate species, are usually grouped in with the common name, baboons. Appearance: All are among the largest of monkeys. All have cheek pouches, enabling them to "eat and run," large canine teeth and long snouts that give them a doglike appearance. They all possess large ischial callosities. In guinea baboons these are bright red. Baboon ears and faces are naked. Forelimbs and hindlimbs are about equal in length. Tails vary, but are generally long. Their fur is dense and their coloring varies somewhat, though most coats contain grey or brown. Olive baboons have a greenish olive coat; yellow baboons are yellowish brown; guinea baboons are reddish brown; chacmas range from yellowish gray to almost black. Body lengths range between 50-60cm. Weight ranges are from about 60-30lbs, or heavier, with the savanna baboons (olive and yellow) being the largest.

GELADA FACTS Brought to you by Mindy's Memory Primate Sanctuary . If you find this page useful please consider making a donation to help us continue to care for needy monkeys. Family: Cercopithecidae Subfamily: Cercopithecinae Genus: Theropithecus Species: gelada Taxonomy is disputed. Was included in the Papio genus until 1979. Is still normally grouped in under the common name of "baboon." Appearance: Gelada size range overlaps with that of baboons, making it one of the largest of monkeys. They are also sexually dimorphic. Females average around 22ins in length and weigh around 25lbs, while males are, on average, 28ins long and weigh almost twice as much as females. Female tail lengths average 14ins, while males average around 17ins. Their faces are naked, as other baboons, but their snouts differ, being shorter and higher. The nasal openings are situated differently - they are not quite as far forward on the end of the snout, and are tilted upward - and they are also shaped a bit differently. The end of the snout is rounded, more like that of a chimp. Their fur is coarse, dark brown to buff, and shaggy. The tips of their tails are tufted. They have well-developed ischial callosities and cheek pouches. Geladas all have an obvious naked red or dark pink area on their chests. This area changes in color and size when females come into estrus. Females also have skin knobs around this area, and on their perineal region, which also swell during estrus. Adult male male geladas have long, heavy, dark "capes" of fur around their shoulders.

Contact: Jennifer Donovan Phone: Lack of Estrogen Causes Miscarriage Restoring Normal Estrogen Levels Maintains the Pregnancy Eugene D. Albrecht, PhD , professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences at the University of Maryland School of Medicine , presented results of the study at a March 14 symposium on "Fetal Signaling and Labor," at the Society for Gynecological Investigation’s 45 th annual meeting in Atlanta. "Our findings indicate that estrogen plays a critically important physiological role in the maintenance of pregnancy and in fetal viability," Albrecht says. Albrecht and his collaborator, Gerald J. Pepe, PhD, professor of physiology at Eastern Virginia Medical School, artificially suppressed estrogen levels in 22 pregnant baboons. Seven also received an estrogen supplement that restored levels of the hormone to that of normal pregnancy. Another 20 baboons were left untreated, as controls. Pregnancy proceeded normally to term in 95 percent of the controls, but only 45 percent of the animals whose estrogen formation was suppressed were able to maintain their pregnancies, Albrecht reports. The other 55 percent miscarried. Monitoring six of the estrogen-suppressed baboons with ultrasound, the researchers found no fetal heartbeat, indicating that the fetuses had died before the miscarriages, he says. In contrast, all of the animals treated with both an estrogen suppressant and an estrogen supplement maintained their pregnancies, the perinatal endocrinologist adds.

78. Monkey Maddness - Natural Diet Of Primates consumption of cereal grains is a recent departure from more traditional plant foodsconsumed by a majority of primates. baboons also have a very selective diet http://www.monkeymaddness.com/articles/naturaldiet.html

Natural Diet of Primates A tremendous diversity exists within the dietary choices of non-human primates. As a general rule, small animals require a high nutrient flow but a lower caloric input, while larger animals can survive on a poor quality, high density diet. This is linked to metabolic rate, whereby the smaller the primate, the faster the metabolism (Gaulin and Konner 1977). Non-human primates consume large quantities of plant remains which are variable in nutrient quality. Growing plants and fruits have a higher nutritional percentage of protein to fiber. Certain non-human primates obtain a considerable proportion of their diet from highly dispersed insects that are nutritively superior to fruits and leaves. Tree sap, a rare dietary constituent, is higher still in concentrated sugars than fruit. Gaulin and Konner (1977) predict that smaller animals will exploit resources such as fruits, insects, and sap, while larger primates will consume mature plants, of greater abundance, but less nutritive value. Diet can also be associated with energy levels. It is notable that gorillas and orangs exhibit low energy levels and consume low quality foods, while active chimpanzees consume a high- quality diet. There are exceptions to the generalization that small primates will select a high quality diet, while larger primates will rely primarily on low quality foods. Aye-ayes consume a large proportion of insects in their diet and are considerably larger than most other non-human primate. Yet, they do eat wood boring insect larvae which are less mobile and provide a higher yield. As well, the potto consumes a high proportion of insects and sap. This may somehow be linked to a faster metabolic rate (Gaulin and Konner 1977).

80. EBRA (European Biomedical Research Association, EBRA Bulletin of research where very particular species or subspecies of primates are required areasof testing where all the background data has been obtained from baboons. http://www.ebra.org/bulletin/july02_96.html

EBRA Bulletin July 1996 The supply and use of primates in the EU One of the more important animal research issues being discussed in Europe is the supply and use of non-human primates in research and testing. The figures published in the 1991 European Union (EU) statistics show that there were 8,545 such primates used in the EU that year, with the majority being used in the UK, Germany and France. The use of primates The objections to the use of primates comes mostly from campaigning groups who have targeted this issue. However, the scientific justification for using primates cannot be so easily dismissed. A number of areas of virology (including some AIDS research and vaccine development and testing), biotechnology product development and neurobiology research are currently completely dependent on the use of non-human primates. The pressure against primate use has received some support from more respected voices but the arguments presented have not been found convincing. Indeed, it is likely that even the campaigning groups recognise the strength of the scientific justification for using primates and they have focused their main activities on secondary issues, such as supply and transport of primates, the use of wild-caught animals, etc to put pressure on the main issue.
