| dc.description.abstract | This research explores the population size, activity patterns, and feeding habits of olive baboons (Papio anubis) in sodo dachi woreda south west shoa . Data was collected using direct observation during wet and dry season . Results indicate a stable population size with notable seasonal variations influenced by resource availability. Activity patterns reveal a highly adaptable species with significant variations in daily routines based on environmental and social factors. Feeding habits are characterized by a diverse diet, including fruits, seeds, and invertebrates, with marked dietary shifts corresponding to seasonal changes and habitat alterations. This study enhances our understanding of olive baboon behavioral ecology and provides valuable data for conservation strategies aimed at maintaining ecological balance and species preservation in their natural habitats. The number of individual was identified, such as adult and juveniles were identified, by using mobile camera and direct observation as well as their activity pattern and feeding habits were identified. The observations were made in Sodo Dachi district three site that are abandoned and used by olive baboons. The results showed that a total of individuals were observed of were wet season 457 and dry season387 were counted.The activity pattern showed that feeding was the highest percent during the wet season and during dry season followed by resting. The feeding habits also showed that they mainly were observed feeding on fruit, nectar and insect. Olive baboon play important ecological roles as prey and predator, arthropod suppression, seed dispersal; pollination, material and nutrient distribution recycle emphasized the need for conservation. | |
