Baboon

Description

Baboons share about 91% of their DNA with humans. It's easy to believe when you watch a troop of baboons and see just how human-like they can be! In Gorongosa, aerial counts from 2007 to 2018 suggest roughly 5 to 8 baboons per square kilometre, living in troops of about 30 to 80. And while humans vary relatively little from one another genetically, baboons are more diverse.
