- The Hamadryas Baboon (Papio hamadryas) is a baboon from the Old World monkey family.
- It is the northernmost of all the baboons; its range extends from the Red Sea in Egypt to Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia.
- It also lives on the Arabian peninsula (Saudi Arabia and Yemen).
- The Hamadryas Baboon was a sacred animal to the ancient Egyptians as the attendant of Thoth, and so, is also called the Sacred Baboon.
