Yes. Baboons are 'Old World' monkeys, a class of primates found in a range of environments across Africa, North and East Asia, the Middle East, Gibralta, and the southernmost reaches of Spain, encompassing eighty or more species of primate.
Unlike apes, Old World monkeys possess tails. Their tails are not prehensile, unlike New World Monkeys, who are capable of using their tail effectively as an extra limb.
Baboons belong to the subfamily of Old World monkeys called Cercopithecines, the other subfamily being Colobinae. Other examples of Cercopithecines include Mandrills and Macaques, while typical examples of Colobinae include the Colobus and Proboscis monkeys.
Baboons are the largest of the old world monkeys.
Baboons are a certain specie of monkey called gingers. It is still unknown whether they are considered as apes or not .
But the look funny.
Tada.
Monkeys are comparatively smaller than baboons (large baboons can reach 50 kg especially the males). Geladas, drills, and mandrills are commonly mistaken for baboons but are the largest types of monkey. Baboons are omnivorous but not all monkies are omnivorous. Baboons also can be predatorial and very aggressive especially when protecting their young even against much larger animals. They are very much a pack animal or belong to a troop as many types of monkey are solitary.
I focussed mainly on the baboons as most have an idea on what a monkey is.
This is just a brief overview, hope it helps.
Cheers from South Africa! :)
Yes, baboons are classified as ground-living monkeys of the genus Papio.
no, a snow monkey is white but baboons are brown like regular monkeys.

A large Arican monkey is a conderstul ape.... h ha ha I don't really know the answer! :-D
because they have tails and apes don't.Monkeys have tails.So, baboons are monkeys
A seven letter word for a large ape is gorilla.
A baboon is in the monkey family, but in different primates. They are old world monkeys which mean they are in Africa or Asia. I guess they're in the same group, but a baboon is neither. It's just called in the "monkey" family!
Unlikely. A baboon is a monkey but a chimpanzee is a great ape. The chimpanzee sperm may have difficulty penetrating a baboon egg? The chromosome count of chimpanzee(48) and baboon(54) could cause an issue? Different in morphology could prevent successful gestation? A full-term or live birth is doubtful to happen. Even a tetragametic chimerism might not be possible?
Only in Zoos. Only simian native to Europe is the Barbary Ape- sort of a Baboon type, on the Island of Gibraltar- British fortified colony.
The Gorilla is the largest living ape and primate overall. If you are looking for the largest monkey that would be the Baboon. Both of which live in Africa in the wild.
