I present information on the life, past growth rate and future of the olive baboon. I will demonstrate the communal relationship shared by adult females, males and juveniles in the troop and how female ranking plays an important role in troop dynamics. I will explain the specificities of the climate of the savannah biome and the adaptations available to the olive baboon, native to this habitat, to support its survival and the food chain of which it is a part. I will further show the behaviors of omnivores as a predator of rodents, hares and Thomson's gazelles, as a prey of lions, leopards and hyenas, and as a herbivore, which eats tubers, lemongrass and acacias. Additionally, I will explore the symbiotic relationship that the baboon Olive shares with elephants. I will examine in more detail the olive baboon's central role in the ecosystem and its impact on humans. Finally, I will explain the place of olive baboons in the biogeochemical cycles that support life, in the biome through the recycling of phosphorus, carbon, nitrogen and water. Olive baboons living in the savannahClassificationThe olive baboon belongs to the family of Old World monkeys. There are five types of baboons, with the olive baboon being the largest and having the largest geological range of all baboons. In order 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...... middle of paper......
