Voodoo Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) There are five different species of baboons. All of them live in Africa or Arabia. Baboons are some of the world's largest monkeys, and males of different species average from 33 to 82 pounds (15 to 37 kilograms). Baboon bodies are 20 to 40 inches (60 to 102 centimeters) long, not including substantial tails of varying lengths.Baboons generally prefer savanna and other semi-arid habitats, though a few live in tropical forests. Like other Old World monkeys, baboons do not have prehensile (gripping) tails. But they can and do climb trees to sleep, eat, or look out for trouble. They spend much of their time on the ground. Baboons are opportunistic eaters and, fond of crops, become destructive pests to many African farmers. They eat fruits, grasses, seeds, bark, and roots, but also have a taste for meat. They eat birds, rodents, and even the young of larger mammals, such as antelopes and sheep. Four baboon species (i.e., chacma, olive, yellow, and Guinea) are known as the savanna baboons. These animals form large troops, composed of dozens or even hundreds of baboons, governed by a complex hierarchy that fascinates scientists. Males use shows of physical power to dominate rivals, and troop members spend endless hours carefully grooming one another to remove insects and dead skin. A fifth species, the hamadryas baboon, lives in the hills along the Red Sea coasts of Africa and Arabia. These cliff-dwelling baboons disperse to forage during the day and reconvene in much smaller groups at night.

GTA_stu Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 There's something admirable about baboons, well the females at least. When they're "in season" their asses go bright red and swell up to let the males know they're down for some funky business. Now if only women were like that it would make things so much easier.

meta187 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) Dude. I just ate some red velvet macaroons and holy sheet mang, it's like The Morning Star himself took the personal time out of his day to jizz directly into the shredded coconut cookie batter. Fun Fact about the number 7000: On average, a younger male between the ages of of 18 and 26 masturbates or considers masturbating approximately 7000 times annually. Now we both know that you're no Spring Chicken, Jack so you better take it down a peg, lest you run the likely risk of heart attack coupled with extreme dehydration. Remember, self abuse is a privilege not a right. Play me out Barbara. Also, to answer your topics stated question...
