Baboon Sitting 13" H

4141, SITTING BABOON 13'' are anatomically scaled to create the best reproduction of the life size stuffed animal and the most realistic stuffed animal in the industry.

Baboons are some of the world's largest monkeys, and males of different species average from 33 to 82 pounds. Baboon bodies are 20 to 40 inches long, not including substantial tails of varying lengths. Baboons generally prefer savanna and other semi-arid habitats, though a few live in tropical forests. 

The Baboon is a medium to large-sized species of Old World Monkey that is found in a variety of different habitats throughout Africa and in parts of Arabia.

There are five different species of Baboon which are the Olive Baboon, the Guinea Baboon, the Chacma Baboon, the Yellow Baboon, and the Hamadryas Baboon which differs most from the others wide its bright red face and cliff-dwelling lifestyle (the other four species are collectively known as Savanna Baboons).

However, there is some debate over the classification of the different species due to the fact that some have been known to interbreed, indicating that they could be sub-species instead. Baboons are incredibly sociable and intelligent animals that are known to form close bonds with other members of the troop that often last for life.

They are also incredibly adaptable animals but their population numbers are declining throughout their natural range primarily due to hunting and habitat loss.

Baboon troops consist of both males and females with their young and form very close bonds by feeding, sleeping, and grooming together. During the day they break into smaller bands of 4 or 5 females and young, which is led by a dominant male who attempts to keep other males away.

The Hamadryas Baboon, however, lives in much smaller groups of around 12 females and a single alpha male. Baboons live together for protection and are constantly on the lookout for dangerous predators, particularly when they are out in the open.

If a threat is spotted, they make loud barks and while the males run to attack, the females and young disappear up into the safety of the trees. Baboons communicate with one another in a variety of different ways including vocal calls, facial expressions, and even signals with their tails
