Papio cynocephalus - Each of the five species of baboons found in Africa have their distinctive home range; the yellow baboon inhabits the southern section spanning across Central Africa. The yellow baboon begins the day with a brief period of grooming activities before casually foraging their neighborhood for food. By mid-afternoon, they begin the return journey to their sleeping grove. They, like all baboons, spend the night in trees to avoid predators ranging from lions to pythons and surprisingly, a list including chimpanzees.
