Animal of the Month, December 2008

The mighty Baboon!

Did you know that there are five different species of baboon and four of them live in the savanna, dry areas in both Africa and Arabia.

Baboons lack that ability to grip things with their tails, but they still climb trees sometimes to avoid predators.

Baboons eat birds, rodents, and even the young of larger mammals, such as antelopes and sheep.

Baboons live in groups that can range from a dozen members to over one hundred.

What a cool animal!
Shazam!
