The image features an informational sign about a Hamadryas Baboon, presented in an outdoor setting against a natural, dark brown background resembling soil or a tree trunk. The sign itself is a colorful, cut-out display shaped like the head and upper body of a baboon, showcasing a detailed photograph of the animal's face. Green leaf and vine designs are incorporated as decorative elements, adding to the natural theme. The sign provides extensive details about the Hamadryas Baboon in both English and Kannada, clearly indicating its presence in a Kannada-speaking region like Mysuru, India. Information includes the common name "Hamadryas Baboon" (Scientific Name: *Papio hamadryas*), its family (*Cercopithecidae*), and geographical distribution across Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. Its preferred habitats are rocky desert regions, savannas, and cliffs. Physical characteristics detail body length (60-80 cm), weight (males: 18-20 kg; females: 9-11 kg), and color (males: gray-brown; females: olive-brown). It notes the males' distinctive mantle of long silvery hair, bright pink face, and backside, contrasting with the females' hairless black and brown faces. These baboons are described as having a strong build, a dog-like muzzle, and a short, non-prehensile, tufted tail. The sign outlines their herbivorous diet, comprising grass, roots, fruits, insects, and small mammals in the wild, and a mixture of fruits, vegetables, and worms in captivity. Lifespan is approximately 18-20 years in the wild and up to 25-30 years in captivity. Reproduction details include a year-round mating season, a gestation period of around 170 days, and typically one infant. Habitat loss and hunting for bushmeat are listed as threats. A notable unique feature is their highly structured social system, where males lead groups of females called harems. A "LEAST CONCERN" conservation status is visible, along with a "123RF" watermark on the baboon's image. Small fasteners secure the sign, which appears to be illuminated by natural daylight.
