Ape or just Primate? Tail or no tail?

  • Sharadh by Sharadh

    I got really confused with this one - ended up marking it a primate. My confusion is:

    • the animal is quite large.
    • it looks like the young one has a longish tail
    • the older does not, BUT they look like the same species.

    Any tips?

    Hi @Sharadh,

    That is correct: these are primates. To be more precise: olive baboons. They are quite large and have a tail. You cannot see it well in the video, but both have a tail. See here ACP000b3hp (next video).

    Thanks for your interest!
