I am presenting information about the life, past growth rate, and future of the olive baboon. I will demonstrate the community relationship shared by the adult females, males, and juveniles of the troop and how female ranking plays an important role in the dynamics of the troop. I will explain the specifics of the climate of the savannah biome and what adaptations the olive baboon, native to this habitat, must have to support its survival and the food chain of which it is part. I will also show the omnivore's behaviors as a predator of rodents, hares and Thomson's gazelles, as prey of lions, leopards and hyenas, and as a herbivore, feeding on tubers, lemongrass and acacia. Additionally, I will explore the symbiotic relationship that the olive baboon shares with elephants. I will further examine the olive baboon's key role in the ecosystem and their impact on humans. Finally, I will explain the place of olive baboons in the biogeochemical cycles that sustain life, in the biome through the recycling of phosphorus, carbon, nitrogen and water. Olive baboons living in the savannahClassificationThe olive baboon comes from the family of Old World monkeys. There are five types of baboons, of which the olive baboon is the largest and has the largest geological range of all the baboons. To differentiate it from other organisms, the Linnaean classification system classifies and identifies the animal. The genus that classifies the animal as a member of the baboon family is Papio. To be more specific within the species, the olive baboon is named after the Egyptian god of the dead: Anubis. The olive baboon is identified as Papio Anubis (Shefferly, 2004). Native to the savannah biome, Olive Baboons are known for their greenish-gray hue... center of card... Retrieved from http://pin.primate.wisc.edu/factsheets/entry/olive_baboon /taxonOlive Baboon .
