| This is a short look at just three of the many primate species that live in Africa. Baboons (along with Mandrills) are the largest members of the monkey family. The Olive Baboon featured here, has a large range spread across central Africa. New reports show they at times will cross breed with other baboon species. Also on this video are curious Vervet Monkeys, and the animal most closely related to us, the Chimpanzee. PLEASE REMEMBER- PRIMATES ARE NOT PETS! To help all of Africas old world monkeys check out groups like African Wildlife Foundation, Conservation International and Wildlife Direct.

(*Brians Art for Animals has so far sent over $850.00 to conservation efforts from its You Tube account alone) ------------------------------------------------ I realize some of you may have found this video due to the recent Chimp attack in Connecticut, so please read about some of the Chimp sanctuaries we have here in the US. It is a shame that these places have to exist, but please do read up on them and help if you can.
