Adult male gelada in the mountains of Ethiopia
An adult male gelada, also called the gelada baboon or the "bleeding-heart" monkey, poses along a ridge in the Simien Mountains National Park, Ethiopia. Researchers are studying how this species has adapted to the high-altitude – between 6,000 and 14,000-plus feet above sea level – where they live.
