Theropithecus gelada
Geladas are unique monkeys that live in the mountains of Ethiopia. They are known for their beautiful, long hair and their special way of sitting, which looks like they are always relaxing!
Hábitat: Mountain regions
The Gelada is a large, terrestrial monkey with shaggy, golden-brown fur and a distinctive bare, red, hourglass-shaped patch on its chest. Males boast a long, flowing mane around their shoulders, making them visually different from other baboons. They have dark faces and light eyelids.
