Baboons are primates comprising the genus Papio, one of the 23 genera of Old World monkeys. Baboons vary in size and weight depending on the species. Baboons are diurnal and terrestrial, but sleep in trees, or on high cliffs or rocks at night, away from predators. They are found in open savannas and woodlands across Africa. Females typically give birth after a six-month gestation, usually to one infant. The females tend to be the primary caretaker of the young, although several females may share the duties for all of their offspring. Offspring are weaned after about a year.

They reach sexual maturity around five to eight years. Six species of Papio are recognized, although there is some disagreement about whether they are really full species or subspecies. Chacma baboon, Papio ursinus, found in southern Africa. Olive baboon, Papio anubis, found in the north-central African savanna. Kinda baboon, Papio kindae, found in miombo woodlands in Central Africa. Yellow baboon, Papio cynocephalus, found in south-central and eastern Africa.
