阿拉伯狒狒 (Papio hamadryas) 是一个狒狒物种，这种主要为陆生的大型灵长类动物原生于非洲之角的埃塞俄比亚、吉布提和索马里，还有阿拉伯半岛的也门。阿拉伯狒狒在体型与外观上都展现出极端的两性异形。雌性与雄性身上都覆盖着蓬乱的毛皮，只是雌狒狒为棕色，而雄狒狒为银白色。此外，雄狒狒脖子周围有浓密的鬃毛，脸颊周围也有一圈毛发。它们有着像狗一般的口鼻部，红棕色的脸上没有毛发。其臀部有着明显的坐骨胼胝，这种皮肤角质化后形成的硬垫使它们能舒服地坐在树枝和其他粗糙表面上。雄性阿拉伯狒狒体型约为雌性的两倍大，头部加身体的长度为 70 到 95 厘米，尾长 42 到 60 厘米，体重介于 15 至 30 公斤之间。雌性体长则为 50 至 65 厘米，尾长 37 到 41 厘米，体重则仅介于 10 到 15 公斤之间。

Animal Facts
The name 'hamadryas' is an Ancient Greek compound word that refers to a dryad that lives inside of a tree.
The patriarchal social structure of the hamadryas baboon is unique among the baboon species.
Hamadryas baboons were deified in Ancient Egypt; the god Thoth was often depicted with the head of a baboon and associated with wisdom, science, magic and judgement.
Baboons live in open grasslands and woodlands due to their largely terrestrial nature. During the day, they walk on the ground foraging for food, and during the night they will climb trees and cliffs to sleep.
Hamadryas baboons are opportunistic omnivores and will eat anything from grasses, seeds and fruit to fish, carrion, and even fresh meat from birds, small monkeys or young antelopes.
