🐒Gelada
Le Gélada (Theropithecus gelada) est un primate de la famille des cercopithécidés et seule espèce vivante du genre Theropithecus. Ce grand singe ressemble au babouin et vit sur les hauts plateaux d'Érythrée et en Éthiopie. Le gélada est aussi grand que beaucoup de babouins, il a une face allongée et il est sujet au même dimorphisme sexuel. Il est également apparenté aux mangabeys et aux macaques. La face allongée caractéristique très voyante chez les babouins est différente chez le gélada.
