By Kristine Sabillo With their bright red, hairless chests and grass-grazing lifestyle, gelada monkeys are quite unusual.

He raises his binoculars. “I can see all the action this way,” he explains. Theropithecus gelada, sometimes called the bleeding heart monkey, may not draw Getaneh’s attention. But his ...

The gelada monkey, also known as the bleeding heart baboon, makes a gurgling noise or wobble sound that scientists say is close to human speech — at least in how much facial coordination it ...

For a brief second, a young gelada female interrupts her foraging to stare into the camera. These Ethiopian monkeys have to eat throughout the day to obtain enough nutrients from their primary ...

With regal manes, hairless scarlet chest patches, and intimidating canines jutting from their mouths like scythes, it would be easy to think gelada monkeys were the rulers of their mountain domains.

Research published in the Feb. 24, 2012, issue of the journal Science suggests that when male gelada monkeys take over a reproductive group, the pregnant monkeys in the group spontaneously miscarry.

The grunts, moans and wobbles of gelada monkeys, a chatty species residing in Ethiopia’s northern highlands, observe a universal mathematical principle seen until now only in human language.

Are geladas one evolutionary adaptation away from being capable of human speech? Studies show that in our own primate ancestors, "lip-smacking" was an immediate precursor to speech. National ...

Nov. 5 (UPI) --Primates can alter the rate at which they reach sexual maturity. Previous studies have shown a variety of factors, including food availability, can determine whether primates mature ...
