Old World Monkey
Only the Ethiopian Highlands are home to the gelada, an Old World monkey. It’s also known as the “baboon” of the gelada or the “bleeding-heart monkey.” They mostly consume grasses, although they will also eat fruits and even cereal crops when they are available. Gelada’s chest is covered with a hairless, hourglass-shaped patch of pink or red flesh. They show their fangs and gums when they flip their top lips back in a threat demonstration. They also expose their pale eyelids by pulling back their scalps.
