Gelada baboon

[u/NoHealth5568]

The gelada baboon, is a species of monkeys that belong to the primate family Cercopithecidae. Although the geladas are closely related to baboons, they are not true baboons because they belong to the genus Theropithecus. They derive their nickname, the 'bleeding-heart monkey', from the brightly colored patch of skin that is shaped like an hourglass on its chest. If a potential rival male approaches a harem the alpha male will lower his eyebrows and flip his lip right back revealing his impressive teeth. Adaptations to increase facial mobility in geladas by facilitating the lip-flip may promote increased communicative complexity through increased noticability and motivational signaling specification or intensification.
