In the wild, locomotor behavior of these baboons vary as a result of their need to find food and to avoid predators. [17] Gelada baboons use what is known as a "shuffle gait", where they squat bipedally and move their feet in a shuffling motion. They tend to use bipedal locomotion when traveling short distances.
The Cercopithecinae are a subfamily of the Old World monkeys, which comprises roughly 71 species, including the baboons, the macaques, and the vervet monkeys.Most cercopithecine monkeys are limited to sub-Saharan Africa, although the macaques range from the far eastern parts of Asia through northern Africa, as well as on Gibraltar.
MSW3 calls it "Gelada" not "Gelada Baboon", while it calls all of the Papio species baboons. WP:PRIM is using MSW3 as the primary source, unless there is something published after it that supercedes it. Since this article is about the one species, and the one species is the only member of the genus, the article is also about the genus.
