What is a group of baboons called?

The baboons are a group of Old World monkeys belonging to the genus Papio, which includes five species: the hamadryas, Guinea, chacma, olive, and yellow baboons. They are highly social animals that live in troops consisting of anywhere from a few dozen to over 100 individuals, with each troop possessing a dominant male and a hierarchy of females and young.

Baboons are known for their intelligence and adaptability, and have been observed exhibiting complex social behavior such as grooming, play, and cooperative hunting. They are omnivorous, with their diet consisting of a variety of plant and animal matter, including fruits, seeds, insects, and small mammals.

Baboons have a distinctive appearance, with a bare, hairless face and pronounced canine teeth. They are known for their aggressive behavior and are considered a danger to humans in areas where they come into contact with humans.

Baboons are found throughout sub-Saharan Africa, and are considered a vulnerable species due to habitat loss, hunting, and disease. Conservation efforts are in place to protect these highly intelligent and social primates.
