Gelada 2

Gelada 2

The gelada or lion baboon carries a heavy mane of long blackish-brown hair. The chest and the buttocks are bare and bright pink in colour. This large animal rarely climbs among the trees. Rather, it chooses to forage on the ground for leaves, roots and tubers. Gelada are found on the mountains in Southern Ethiopia where there are steep cliffs and rocky ravines. [BM] {FW}
