#Papio #hamadryas (#Cercopithecidae) live I.a. in northeastern Africa and are ground-dwelling #omnivores. A female with her young (#ZooBerlin 2020) benefits from the protection of her group, which consists of around 7 members. It is a so called #onemaleunit. They can join together to form higher associations (#band and #troop, see Akio Mori et al 2007) for more security for their members. #evolution #biodiversity

In ancient #Egypt, various #deities were portrayed as animals. Thoth, the god of learning and wisdom was represented by a #hamadryas #baboon. Baboons, probably held in captivity in Egypt, were mummified as votive offerings after their deaths.
