The yellow baboon (Papio cynocephalus) is a baboon in the family of Old World monkeys. The species epithet means "dog-head" in Greek, due to the dog-like shape of the muzzle and head. Yellow baboons have slim bodies with long arms and legs along with yellowish-brown hair. They resemble the chacma baboon, but are somewhat smaller and with a less elongated muzzle. Their hairless faces are black, framed with white sideburns. Males can grow to about 84 cm (33 in), females to about 60 cm (24 in). They have long tails which grow to be nearly as long as their bodies. The average life span of the yellow baboon in the wild is roughly 15–20 years; some may live up to 30 years.
Yellow baboons inhabit savannas and light forests in eastern Africa, from Kenya and Tanzania to Zimbabwe and Botswana. They are diurnal, terrestrial, and live in complex, mixed-gender social groups of 8 to 200 individuals per troop. Like all other baboon species, they are omnivorous, with a preference for fruits; they also eat plants, leaves, seeds, grasses, bulbs, bark, blossoms and fungi, as well as worms, grubs, insects, spiders, scorpions, birds, rodents and small mammals. All species of baboons are highly opportunistic feeders and will eat virtually any food they can find.
Baboons fulfill several functions in their ecosystem, not only serving as food for larger predators, but also dispersing seeds in their waste and through their messy foraging habits. They are also efficient predators of smaller animals and their young.
Baboons have been able to fill a variety of ecological niches, including places inhospitable to other animals, such as regions taken over by human settlement. Thus, they are one of the most successful African primates and are not listed as threatened or endangered. However, the same behavioral adaptations that make them so successful also cause them to be considered pests by humans in many areas. Raids on farmers' crops and livestock and other such intrusions into human settlements have made most baboons species subject to many organized extermination projects. However, continued habitat loss forces more and more baboons to migrate toward areas of human settlement.
The two subspecies of the yellow baboon are:
Papio cynocephalus cynocephalus (typical yellow baboon)
Papio cynocephalus ibeanus (Ibean baboon)

El papión o babuino amarillo (Papio cynocephalus) es una especie de primate catarrino de la familia Cercopithecidae que habita en las sabanas y bosques del África central, desde Kenia y Zimbabue hasta Botsuana y Tanzania.
Es de menor porte que Papio anubis, especie del mismo género que comparte buena parte de su hábitat, generando incluso núcleos de ejemplares híbridos.
El origen del nombre cynocephalus (del griego antiguo κυνοκἐφαλος ), cuya aplicación se atribuye a Aristóteles, significa literalmente «cabeza de can», y alude a su hocico ancho y grande, vagamente parecido al de un perro.

Papio cynocephalus, ou babuíno-amarelo é uma espécie de babuíno, um Macaco do Velho Mundo.O nome científico, vem do grego, e significa, literalmente, "cabeça de cachorro", devido a forma de sua cabeça e focinho. Possui um corpo esguio, com longos braços e pernas, e pelagem de cor amarela-amarronzada. Lembra Papio ursinus, mas é menor e seu focinho não é tão alongado. A face é sem pelos, e de cor preta, de cor branca, nos lados.T Machos podem ter até 84 cm de comprimento, e as fêmeas, 60 cm. A cauda pode ter quase o mesmo comprimento do corpo. Vivem até os 30 anos de idade.
P. cynocephalus habita savanas e florestas abertas do leste da África, do Quênia e Tanzânia até o Zimbábue e Botswana. É um animal diurno, terrestre e vive em grupos complexos de até 200 indivíduos. É onívoro, se alimentando de frutos principalmente, mas se alimenta de outras partes das plantas, como flores e folhas. Babuínos são oportunistas para se alimentar.
Possuem pelo menos, 10 tipos de vocalizações para se comunicar. Quando viajando em grupo, os machos dominantes ficam na frente, fêmeas e jovens ficam no meio, e os machos subalternos ficam na retaguarda. Por formarem hierarquias, os babuínos apresentam comportamentos interessantes, de forma a evitar confrontos e retaliações. Por exemplo: machos frequentemente são vistos usando infantes como forma de se protegerem de um macho mais agressivo. O macho segura o filhote, de forma que acalma o dominante agressivo.
Babuínos possuem um papel importante na dispersão de sementes.Podem ser predados por leões e leopardos, mas também podem predar animais de pequeno porte.
Existem três subespécies de P. cynocephalus

草原狒狒（學名：Papio cynocephalus），又名黃狒狒，是一種棲息於舊世界的猿猴，其種名「cynocephalus」原意為「狗頭」，源自於牠們類似於犬科的口鼻部及頭部。草原狒狒具有瘦長的身體及長四肢，毛呈黃褐色（但是因區域不同而有所差異），外表類似於豚尾狒狒，但具有較小的體型及較短的口鼻部。草原狒狒的面部無毛，呈黑色，兩側具有白色的鬢毛。雄性體長可達84 cm（33英寸）、雌性則可達60 cm（24英寸），並具有幾乎與身體一樣長的尾巴。野生草原狒狒的壽命約為15-20歲，少數個體則能活到30歲。並無特定繁殖季節，懷孕期6個月，每胎產一仔。繁殖季時，母猴的臀部會發紅，作為發情期的象徵。共有32顆臼齒和犬齒。
草原狒狒主要分布於安哥拉、剛果、剛果民主共和國、肯亞、衣索比亞、馬拉威、莫三比克、索馬利亞、坦尚尼亞及尚比亞等地的草原及林緣地帶，是陸棲的日行性動物。牠們為雜食性，以果實、草、種子、球根、樹葉、樹皮、花、真菌、昆蟲、小型脊椎動物，甚至是羚羊屍體和紅鸛為食。基本上所有狒狒都是高度的機會主義者，會吃掉任何牠們找到的食物。
草原狒狒主要以8至200頭個體為生活單位群居。能透過至少十種不同的聲音與彼此進行溝通，當群體行動時會由雄性領頭，雌性與幼年個體位於中央，較弱勢的雄性則位於群體後方。牠們的群體具有相當嚴密的社會組織，有些亞種甚至發展出能避免階級對抗或報復的行為。例如：雄性個體在嘗試接近其他雄性個體時，會先將幼年個體懷抱於懷中，這個行為能有效減少另一頭雄性個體的敵意。
草原狒狒在牠們的生態系中有十分重要的生態位 ，不只是作為較大型掠食者的食物，也會透過糞便散佈植物的種子，並會獵殺其他體型更小的動物，進而控制牠們的數量。此外牠們也能在有人類棲息的地區生存，為非洲最為成功的非洲靈長類之一，數量並沒有受到明顯威脅。然而，這也導致牠們在很多地區被人類視為害獸，因為牠們會去啃食農作物並攻擊家畜。
草原狒狒具有三個亞種：
Papio cynocephalus cynocephalus
Papio cynocephalus ibeanus
Papio cynocephalus kindae
