| phylum | Chordata | The hamadryas baboon is the northernmost of all the baboons, being native to the Horn of Africa and the southwestern region of the Arabian Peninsula. Apart from the striking sexual dimorphism (males are nearly twice as large as females, which is common to most baboons)[5] this species also shows differences in coloration among adults. Adult males have a pronounced cape (mane and mantle), silver-white in color, which they develop around the age of ten, while the females are capeless and brown all over. Their faces range in color from reddish to tan to a dark brown
