The Olive Baboon is a species of baboon that is found in Africa.

They are the most common baboon species and can be found in a variety of habitats, from dry desert to moist rainforest.

Olive baboons live in social groups of around 20-30 individuals, led by a dominant male. They are considered one of the most intelligent animals in the world and are known for their remarkable problem solving abilities.
