Description
This photography piece features an extreme closeup of the face of a Gelada Monkey. Sometimes called the bleeding-heart monkey (due to its red markings on the chest and throat areas) or the gelada "baboon", this primate is a species of Old World monkey found only in the Ethiopian Highlands, with large populations in the Simien Mountains, and is the only grass-feeding monkey in the world. Geladas are actually not baboons but the only living members of the genus Theropithecus.
