Original Range and subspecies ³

The Hamadryas baboon (Papio hamadryas) lives in Yemen and Saudi Arabia, in the southwest of the Arabian peninsula. It is unknown whether the range of this species was formerly more extensive. Baboons were revered by Egyptians and historically occurred north up to the region of the Nile known as Upper Egypt, but it's not clear if the species occurred naturally further north in Egypt. No fossil or subfossil remains are known from this area, the Levant or northwestern Arabia. Current evidence seems to suggest this species still occurs in most of its original range in the W Palearctic.

Reintroduction efforts so far ⁴

None, but it appears to have been introduced north of its current range in western Saudi Arabia. This species appears to still occur over much of its original range.
