Papio hamadryas
Papio papio
Papio anubis
Papio cynocephalus
Papio ursinusFive species of Papio are commonly recognized, although there is some disagreement about whether they are really full species or subspecies. They are P. ursinus (Chacma Baboon, found in southern Africa), P. papio (Western, Red, or Guinea Baboon, found in the far western Africa), P. hamadryas (Hamadryas Baboon, found in the Horn of Africa and south-western Arabia), P. anubis (Olive Baboon, found in the north-central African savanna) and P. cynocephalus (Yellow Baboon, found in south-central and eastern Africa). Many authors distinguish P. hamadryas as a full species, but regard all the others as subspecies of P. cynocephalus and refer to them collectively as "savanna baboons". This may not be helpful it is based on the argument that the Hamadryas Baboon is behaviorally and physically distinct from other baboon species, and that this reflects a separate evolutionary history. However, recent morphological and genetic studies of Papio show the Hamadryas Baboon to be more closely related to the northern baboon species (the Guinea and Olive Baboons) than to the southern species (the Yellow and Chacma Baboons).[3][4][5] The traditional 5-form classification probably under-represents the variation within Papio. Some commentators[6] argue that at least two more forms should be recognized, including the very tiny Kinda Baboon (P. cynocephalus kindae) from Zambia, the DRC, and Angola, and the Gray-footed Baboon (P. ursinus griseipes) found in Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and northern South Africa. However, current knowledge of the morphological, genetic, and behavioral diversity within Papio is too poor to make any final, comprehensive judgment on this matter. There are 5 species of baboons in the genus Papio[1]

2. Make Every Woman Melt
May 30, 2009
How do you know if a woman wants sex? It'd be a lot easier if your girlfriend was a baboon. Unlike her shy human equivalent, the female baboon blatantly advertizes when she fancies a bit. During ovulation when she's most likely to get pregnant and feel turned on (also true for humans) - the area round her genitals turns bright red. Just in case her mate doesn't get the message, she crouches in front of him, waving her bottom in the air. While I doubt your girlfriend will wiggle her bottom so blatantly, let's be honest, she is wiggling it. And there are other signs too, albeit a little more sub... (read more)

3. There's a Monkey on Your Back - Creating Stock Photos
February 11, 2009
During the course of my never ending quest to find and illustrate every applicable cliché for my stock photo business it occurred to me that shooting a baboon might be more fun than a barrel of monkeys! Seriously, I decided a great image would be a monkey on a businessman’s back. I could create a cool concept image and then round out the shoot with assorted funny monkey pictures.
Jack, the Baboon, and a Cubicle
Step one was to call my favorite animal trainer, Stephanie Taunton, of Bow Wow Productions to arrange to photograph her baboon. We set a date. Next step; I needed a model.... (read more)

4. Taking Pictures of Cows - the Perils and Pitfalls
December 22, 2008
I have photographed a Lion, a Tiger, a baboon, chickens, eagles, mice, turtles, dogs and cats, elephants and more…but the hardest animals for me to shoot for my animal antics series of images are…cows! Yes, creating funny cow pictures is one of the hardest things for me to do. Cow transformation is not easy. As a matter of fact…the closest I have ever come to being killed or injured on a shoot was during a cow shoot. I was trying to get a good, clear shot of the cow’s chest. To get more space we decided to have the cow stand with it’s front legs up on a platform. I would crawl under th... (read more)

5. Baboon Excursions Transform South African Pest Into Tourist Attraction
January 28, 2008
In the suburbs of Cape Town, South Africa, baboons are considered by many residents to be unwelcome pests. They frequently raid garbage bins and break into homes looking for food. But a conservation group has been trying to change perceptions about baboons, by showing that urban wildlife can become a tourist attraction. For VOA, Terry FitzPatrick reports.
More than 350 baboons live in parks and nature preserves along the outskirts of Cape Town. Most of them stay away from people. But several baboon troupes have learned they can find an easy meal in suburban homes. Their raids have prompted c... (read more)

6. Corporate branding management- unlocking the naturals
May 15, 2007
I have seen tons of companies speaking of whatever they can. Hats off to PRZOOM for providing this open forum, even the dumbs. I remember a post from a company which read about the immense business opportunities they have gotten from CeBIT 2007 fair. I personally know the company and its marketing manager- an deaf baboon. Surprisingly, they have not gotten a single project from CeBIT 2007. Reasons- first the complete preparation (I've seen it myself) was bewildering and nonsense. Second, they have hired a marketing lead who knows not what marketing is. Branding happens without a theme or with... (read more)

7. Your Body Was Not Made to Eat Meat
February 01, 2007
Man belongs to the primate family, all members of which are complete vegetarians. By and large primates were not created or suited to digest the dead flesh of another creature.
Indeed it is a rare but not unknown occurrence to see a gorilla or baboon in the wild dining off an animal carcass. Much of mankind and many great civilizations have remained vegetarian and indeed are often healthier than their meat eating counterparts. For example the Buddhist people of the Far East and indeed 90 % of the population in India have been vegetarian for millennia. The Hunza people... (read more)
