What is the scientific name of the olive baboon? Its scientific name is Papio anubis.

Papio anubis is the scientific name of the olive baboon, also called the Anubis baboon. The species belongs to the genus Papio and the family Cercopithecidae, the Old World monkey family. Its coat appears olive or greenish-grey from a distance, which explains the common name.

The olive baboon is the most widely distributed baboon species. Its African range extends across roughly 25 countries, from Mali eastward through Ethiopia and southward toward Tanzania, with populations living in savannas, steppes, forests, and other habitats. It is an adaptable, social primate that uses a complex repertoire of vocal and visual signals.

The other options are names of different baboon species. Papio ursinus is the chacma baboon, Papio papio is the Guinea baboon, and Papio hamadryas is the hamadryas baboon. Older or alternative classifications have sometimes treated the olive baboon as a subspecies of a broader baboon complex, but Papio anubis is the standard species name used for the olive baboon.
