Hamadryas baboons are native to the Horn of Africa and the southwestern region of the Arabian Peninsula. Their geographic range extends from Red Sea in Eritrea to Ethiopia, Djibouti, and Somalia.

They also live in the Sarawat Mountains of Yemen and Saudi Arabia. They are locally extinct in Egypt.

They live in arid areas, savannas, and rocky areas. They require high cliffs for sleeping and finding water. They represent the northernmost of all baboon species.

Ancient Egyptians considered them a sacred animal. It appears in various roles in ancient Egyptian religion. This connection gives it the alternative name of the sacred baboon.

Adults show strong differences in coloration based on their sex. Males develop a pronounced silver-white mane and mantle at around ten years of age. Females remain capeless and brown all over. They have reddish to dark brown faces.

Like all baboons, they are omnivores and adapt well to dry habitats. During wet seasons, they eat blossoms, fruits, seeds, grass, rhizomes, and corms. They also consume wild roots, tubers, bark, tree gums, and leaves from acacia trees.

During the dry seasons, they eat leaves of the Dobera glabra and sisal leaves. They also eat eggs, insects, spiders, worms, scorpions, reptiles, birds, and small mammals like antelopes.

Females give birth to a single infant during a normal reproductive cycle.
