Olive baboon

The olive baboon (Papio anubis) is a large Old World monkey native to much of sub-Saharan Africa. Its coat appears olive-green from the mix of dark and yellow-brown hairs.

Papio: Papio is a genus of large, ground-dwelling Old World monkeys that includes the baboons. The olive baboon is one of five commonly recognized species in this genus.
Fission–fusion society: A fission–fusion society is a social system in which group membership changes as subgroups split and reunite. Baboon troops can divide into smaller parties while maintaining a wider group identity.
Human–wildlife conflict: Human–wildlife conflict occurs when wildlife and people compete or come into harmful contact. Olive baboons may raid crops and stored food, bringing them into conflict with farmers.
Yellow baboon: The yellow baboon (Papio cynocephalus) is an East African baboon with a yellow-brown coat. It is a closely related species with a more easterly range and lighter coat.
Gombe Stream National Park: Gombe Stream National Park is a protected area in Tanzania on the shore of Lake Tanganyika. Long-term primate research there included observations of olive baboons alongside chimpanzees.
Cercopithecidae: Cercopithecidae is the family of Old World monkeys, including guenons, macaques, and baboons. This family places olive baboons among Africa's and Asia's diverse monkey lineages.
Baboon hierarchy: A baboon hierarchy is a ranked ordering of individuals that shapes access to resources and social interactions. Dominance relationships influence feeding, mating, and conflict within olive baboon groups.
Crop raiding: Crop raiding is the consumption or damage of cultivated plants by wild animals. Baboons' ability to exploit farms makes crop loss a recurring management concern.
Guinea baboon: The Guinea baboon (Papio papio) is a baboon species native to western Africa. It is smaller and more geographically restricted than the olive baboon.
Olive baboon hybrid zone: An olive baboon hybrid zone is a region where olive baboons interbreed with neighboring baboon species. Hybridization with neighboring Papio populations complicates species boundaries across parts of its range.
