The gelada , sometimes called the gelada baboon, is a species of Old World monkey found only in the Ethiopian Highlands, with large populations in the Semien Mountains. ''Theropithecus'' is derived from the Greek root words for "beast-ape." Like its close relatives the baboons , it is largely terrestrial, spending much of its time foraging in grasslands.
