Baboons are amazing mammals and some of the largest monkeys on the planet. This zoology title for children, filled with beautiful photos and factual life science text, examines the primate's opposable thumbs and other parts of its anatomy, vocalization skills, feeding habits, life cycle, and infant care. Its habitats in Africa and Arabia are described, too. A myth from ancient Egypt explains the connection between Thoth, the baboon-headed god, and the Egyptian calendar. Part of Creative Education's popular Amazing Animals series, this book supports elementary-aged readers with captions, on-page definitions, additional resources, and an index.
