Simmons: Graminivorous Adaptations of Theropithecus gelada
The challenges presented by inaccessible food sources may have played a large role in the evolution of the primate brain. Solving the problem of removing small nuts from shells or capturing tiny insects requires animals to be ingenious in their feeding methods; they may begin to mentally map the location of the food if they cannot see it, or they may use tools to access their foods.

Theropithecus gelada (Gelada Baboon): Narrative
The gelada baboon is found inhabiting the high grasslands of Ethiopia and Eritrea, especially in the Semien Mountains National Park. Geladas prefer to sleep on rocky cliffs, from which they descend in the morning to go foraging in the nearby grasslands. [eng] |

Theropithecus atlanticus
Le genre Theropithecus n'est plus représenté aujourd'hui que par Th.gelaga, le gélada des hauts-plateaux éthiopiens. Au cours du Plio-Pléistocène, en revanche, il était largement répandu dans toute l'Afrique (et a même atteint l'Inde et l'Espagne). Les formes les plus récentes, au Pléistocène moyen, atteignaient la taille d'un petit gorille, mais la forme d'Ahl al Oughlam, qui n'est connue qu'en Afrique du Nord, était de taille modeste. [fra] |
