Monkeys!

We will start off with the baboon:

Baboons are terrastrial monkeys found in dry regions of Africa and Arabia. Unlike most monkeys, a few monkeys live in tropical forests; most are found in savannas semiarid regions, where they rove on the ground. They regulary climb trees where they sleep , keep watch, and sometimes eat. Baboons eat a variety  of plants and animals, including grass, fruit, pods, roots and tubers that they dig out of the ground. They stay in groups of hundred and in these groups, the male monkeys are more dominant. We got our Information at http://www.uoregon.edu/~gmitasev/monkeys.htm
