Flange of baboons

I know it sounds made up, but it is correct. A google search reveals the origin: [1] I added it, I just forgot to sign in at the time. --StoatBringer 23:41, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Which is bigger, a Baboon or a Drill

The article states that a Baboon can be up to 90 pounds and that the Mandrill and Drill are bigger. Then the article on the Mandrill says that the Mandrill is up to 60 pounds??? This would make the Baboon bigger. So which is it?

Baboons in Egypt

There is a lot here which could be added... [http://touregypt.net/featurestories/baboons.htm] And which should prove to be of interest. - Ian Chattan 08:33, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So why don't you add the information? - UtherSRG (talk) 14:23, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think a lot more information could be added on Cultural Significance. I've started researching now!G1ggy 07:59, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I am not as good at it as you are, and my dyslexia is killing me.

Thanks for tidying up the link. Now that I see how easy it is to do I've done the other one above. Ian Chattan 14:54, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Early in the article the Baboon god is named Baba, while it is later referred to in the Culture section as Babi. As the second one has a link to an article on the topic and the first doesn't, I'm guessing the second is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MoogleDan (talkcontribs) 16:57, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

scholarly

I don't think "rear-ends" is very scholarly. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.176.159.101 (talkcontribs) .

attack people

Aren't Baboons vicious? I've heard stories of them attacking villages and killing people! -NAVIDIA 03:50, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Attacking people yes, and twice they've attempted to kidnap young children but I'm not sure about killing people.203.29.160.136 (talk) 05:01, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
