Papio

Also known as baboons, baboon

Baboons are primates comprising the genus Papio, one of the 23 genera of Old World monkeys, in the family Cercopithecidae. There are six species of baboon: the hamadryas baboon, the Guinea baboon, the olive baboon, the yellow baboon, the Kinda baboon and the chacma baboon. Each species is native to one of six areas of Africa and the hamadryas baboon is also native to part of the Arabian Peninsula. Baboons are among the largest non-hominoid primates and have existed for at least two million years.

AI overview

Papio is the scientific name for baboons, a group of large primates found in Africa and parts of the Arabian Peninsula that includes six distinct species. These animals are significant because they represent one of the longest-surviving primate lineages, having existed for at least two million years, and they rank among the largest non-ape primates alive today.

本條目介紹的是猴科動物。關於日本妖怪，請見“狒狒 (妖怪)”。狒狒屬，猴科的一屬，是世界上體型僅次於山魈的猴，共分爲五種，都分佈于非洲地區。過去的分類法把獅尾狒以及山魈属也歸入狒狒屬，現在该两类动物已各自單獨列爲一屬。雄性凶猛，敢于和狮子对峙。属于杂食类，但也能捕获小型哺乳动物。分类關於狒狒屬的分類，歷來有不少爭議，這裡只列出五種狒狒：阿拉伯狒狒 (Papio hamadryas) 幾内亞狒狒 (Papio papio) 東非狒狒 (Papio anubis) 草原狒狒 (Papio cynocephalus) 豚尾狒狒 (Papio ursinus) 取自“https://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=狒狒屬&oldid=52724908” 分类：獼猴亞科狒狒屬隐藏分类：物种微格式条目
