A whole lot! That is why they live freely on the Simien Mountains in Ethiopia. You cannot find them anywhere else in the world, except in zoos where they live in captivity. That is certainly different. The Gelada Baboons are the only monkey species that exclusively eat grass. Their chests have a heart-shaped, light pink, hairless patch. When they are anxious, this spot turns bright red.
The beautiful Simien Mountains are a UNESCO protected World Heritage site. If you get the chance to see them, be careful because: a huge cloud of dust can unexpectedly blow your way. Most likely, it is a whole family Gelada Baboons! And if you think, “what am I hearing?” It is probably the Gelada Baboons speaking to each other.
