The Baboon is the largest non-hominid member of the primate order. In modern scientific use, only members of the genus Papio are called baboons, but previously the closely related Gelada and two species of Mandrill and Drill (now classified in genera Theropithecus and Mandrillus) were grouped in the same genus, and these monkeys are still often referred to as baboons in everyday speech. Papio belongs to family Cercopithecidae, in subfamily Cercopithecinae.
