GELADA

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 554 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GAG-GEO
GELADA , the Abyssinian name of a large species of baboon, differing from the members of the genus Papio (see BABOON) by the nostrils being situated some distance above the extremity of the muzzle, and hence made the type of a
separate
  genus, under the name of Theropithecus gelada. In the heavy mantle of
long
 
brown
 
hair
  covering the fore-quarters of the old males,
1
Aeschylus
  died there in 456 inc.with the exception of the
bare
  chest, which is reddish flesh-colour, the gelada recalls the Arabian baboon (Papio hamadryas), and from this common feature it has been proposed to
place
  the two species in the same genus. The gelada inhabits the mountains of Abyssinia, where, like other baboons, it descends in droves to pillage cultivated lands. A second species, or race, Theropithecus obscurus, distinguished by its darker hairs and the presence of a
bare
  flesh-coloured ring round each eye, inhabits the eastern confines of Abyssinia. (R. L.*)
