<div class="tree_txt_unlinked"><p><em>Theropithecus</em>, or the gelada baboons, are found in the the Ethiopian highlands. One species is recognized, <em>T. gelada</em>.
Males of this species are known for their long, shaggy manes. They
are sexually dimorphic, and males have very large canines. Both sexes
have an hour-glass shaped red patch on their chests. They are
predominately terrestrial and move by quadrupedal walking and running.
Geladas live in single-male multi-female groups. Anatomically, their
teeth exhibit complex foldings in the enamel; they have short snouts,
and long thumbs.</p>
