HW_-_Olive_Baboon_jt

The yawn of an olive baboon gives a clear message that the owner is not to be
trifled with; it also reveals the enormous canine teeth with which a large, male
baboon can despatch a small antelope.

From 'Hunters of the Wild' by Michael Bright subtitled 'hunting animals and
their strategies'.

Anubis baboon or olive baboon - Papio anubis
The olive baboon (Papio anubis), also called the Anubis baboon, is a member of the family Cercopithecidae. The species is the most wide-ranging of all baboons, being found in 25 countries throughout Africa, extending from Mali eastward to Ethiopia and Tanzania. Papio anubis inhabits savannahs, steppes, and forests. The common name is derived from its coat color, which is a shade of green-grey at a distance.
