Also known as the lion baboon, the gelada is the most common of Ethiopia's large native mammals. It can be found throughout the Simien mountains, but also outside of Addis Ababa in the Muga Valley Gorge. Geladas live in harem-like organizations made up of 400 members. They feed on roots, leaves and tubers. Males can weigh up to 44 lbs and stand just over two-feet tall. The color of the heart-shaped patch on their chests indicates degree of virility in males, and fertility in females. Compared with other baboons, they are far less aggressive toward humans. 
Correct well done
