As individual as human beings, baboons have amazingly different personalities and appearances. Traveling in troops, they are frequently studied by scientists and reviled by farmers who consider them a threat to their crops. Young readers receive a broad overview of how these monkeys live, their place in the animal kingdom, and the role human beings play in ensuring their continued survival in the wild.
