Papio is a genus of primates commonly known as baboons. These animals are native to Africa and are characterized by their long snouts, large canine teeth, and distinctive social structures. Baboons live in troops, which are groups that can consist of several dozen individuals, and they are known for their complex social interactions. Baboons are omnivorous, meaning they eat both plants and animals. Their diet includes fruits, seeds, roots, and small animals. They are highly adaptable and can thrive in various habitats, from savannas to forests. Baboons play an important role in their ecosystems by helping to disperse seeds and control insect populations.
