What I find fascinating about the gelada is how, as the only true grass-grazing primate, it has filled the niche in the Ethiopian Highlands that would usually be filled by other herbivorous ungulates such as antelope or deer elsewhere in the world- a good example of optimal foraging theory.
The Bronx Zoo has a very exciting array of animals. When were the geladas added?
