The Olive Baboon (Papio anubis) is a large African primate. It is an adoptable animal in Zoo Tycoon.
Description[]
The olive baboon, also known as the Anubis baboon after its dog-like snout, is one of the world's largest monkeys. It is one of five species of true baboon and, like all baboons, shows significant sexual dimorphism, with males reaching heights of 70cm (28in) when standing. The fur is made up of yellow-brown and black hairs. Like all baboons, it has a relatively short tail that droops sharply at the base.
Olive baboons live in a wide variety of habitats, but they are most commonly found in wooded savannahs. They live in large troops, sometimes numbering over 100 individuals. Olive baboons have a wide, varied diet which typically involves plants, invertebrates and small mammals.
Zoo Tycoon[]
The olive baboon is an adoptable animal in Zoo Tycoon and is available in the base game. In Freeform mode, it is not available for adoption until March 1. It is one of twelve animals available to adopt in the Seasideville Zoo scenario.
The olive baboon is a savannah animal and is relatively simple to keep, only requiring a small patch of dirt as additional terrain. Although they like a lot of foliage, they get angry if there are too many tall trees in their enclosure. They prefer to be kept in large groups. Notably, despite exhibiting it in real life, the game's baboons show no sexual dimorphism.
