TOP 7 FACTS ABOUT BABOONS

   FACTS ABOUT BABOONS                                                               (image credit: Natgeo.tv) Baboons are some of the most identifiable of the monkey world. They have tufts of hair on either side of their faces and large, hairless bottoms that can turn red. These old-world monkeys also do not have prehensile tails like some other monkeys, which means they don't use their tail like a hand. Size Baboons are the world's largest monkeys, according to National Geographic. From head to bottom, baboons grow to 20 to 34 inches (60 to 86 centimeters) and their tails add an additional 16 to 23 inches (41 to 58 cm) to their length. They weigh about as much as a human child — 33 to 82 lbs. (22 to 37 kilograms). Habitat Baboons are only found in a very specific area of the world: Africa and Arabia. Four species, the chacma, olive, yellow and Guinea, live in the savannas. Others live in other semi-arid habitats, though some baboons can sometimes be found in tropical forests.

The Peculiar Mating Habits of Lions: Exploring Their Fascinating Reproductive Behaviors

  Lions are one of the most iconic and fascinating animals on the planet. These big cats are known for their majestic manes, powerful roars, and fearsome hunting skills. However, there is one aspect of lion behavior that is not often talked about: their mating habits.    Lions are social animals that live in prides, which are made up of several females and their cubs, as well as a few dominant males. Mating within a pride is common, and male lions will mate with any female in the pride that comes into estrus, which can occur several times a year.                                               credits:DailyMail Male lions also engage in what is known as "extra-pair copulation," which means they mate with females outside of their own pride. This behavior is thought to increase the genetic diversity of the lion population and ensure that cubs are more resilient to disease and other environmental pressures.    Lions are known for their ferocious and intense behavior during mating
