Baboons are found in various habitats across Africa and parts of Arabia, including savannas, woodlands, and even urban areas. These animals are omnivorous, feeding on a diverse diet that includes fruits, seeds, insects, and small animals. Baboons have distinctive physical features, such as long snouts and large canine teeth, which help them adapt to their environment and defend against predators.
