Overall, the skull is similar to that of modern baboons, except that it generally lacks the facial fossae (depressions on the sides of the muzzle and lower jaw) and maxillary ridges (ridges of bone that run along the upper sides of the snout).

Jones said he was unnerved from the moment he saw the skull, which was found by a local man and was flanked in the dirt by what appeared to be a bird’s head, a rubber snake and other odd artifacts.
Because bipedalism is thought to help reduce thermoregulatory stress, research has investigated how baboons deal with water restriction and thermal loads as quadrupeds. [29] Using implanted data loggers and simulated desert conditions, researchers found baboon internal temperatures increased significantly with water deprivation. [29]
