$19.95 – $27.95
Information about the Gelada Baboon:
The Gelada Baboon called the gelada baboon and bleeding-heart baboon, is a species of Old World monkey found only in the Ethiopian Highlands, with large populations in the Semien Mountains. Theropithecus is derived from the Greek root words for “beast-ape.” Like its close relatives the baboons (genus Papio), it is largely terrestrial, spending much of its time foraging in grasslands. Geladas are found only in the high grassland of the deep gorges of the central Ethiopian plateau. They live in elevations 1,800–4,400 m above sea level, using the cliffs for sleeping and montane grasslands for foraging. These grasslands have widely spaced trees and also contain bushes and dense thickets. They display threats by flipping their upper lips back on their nostrils to display their teeth and gums, and by pulling back their scalps to display the pale eyelids.
The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:
• Paper thickness: 10.3 mil

Artist’s notes:
The Gelada Baboon was completed in the summer/fall of 2015. I had gotten a few request to add more primates to the image library. I don’t recall if someone specifically asked for the Gelada Baboon, but when I was researching the various species native to the Ethiopian Highlands I learned more about this species and knew I had to draw it. The illustration is based on a photo by Arjan Hhaverkamp and was used with permission.
