Chacma Baboon
The Baboon is one of Africa’s most distinctive mammals, making up the genus Papio. There are six different species of baboon in the world, dwelling in each of the six regions of Africa (with the Hamadryas baboon being native also to the Arabian peninsula). The six species include the Hamadryas baboon (Papio hamadryas), Guinea baboon, Olive baboon, Yellow baboon (Papio cynocephalus), Kinda baboon (Papio kindae), and Chacma baboon. All baboon species are characterized by their elongated, dog-like muzzle, sharp canine teeth, close-set eyes, thick hair, medium-length tails, and protruding bottoms.
The Chacma baboon is the largest baboon species, weighing up to 88 lbs. This species resides in the Southern Africa region and lives in different terrain, from forests, to savannahs, to shrubland/grassland, to rocky, desert regions. The Chacma baboon prefers an omnivorous diet of fruit, leaves, insects, eggs, seeds, flowers, grass, roots, and small vertebrates. The baboon lives in groups called “troops.”
We feature the Chacma baboon as one of our top picks for adding to your African taxidermy collection. Check out our article here for more ideas.
Squirrel Monkey
The Squirrel monkey makes up the genus Saimiri. This small monkey is native to the tropical forest regions of Central and South America, residing in the canopy layer. The Squirrel monkey can be found throughout the Amazon rainforest, and the forests of Costa Rica and Panama. There are multiple species of Squirrel monkey, including the Black-crowned Central American squirrel monkey, Common squirrel monkey, Black-capped squirrel monkey, Black squirrel monkey, Bare-eared squirrel monkey, Golden-backed squirrel monkey, and the Black-headed squirrel monkey.
The Squirrel monkey, unlike many other monkey species, cannot use its tail for gripping tree branches, however, they use their tail instead for balance. This primate is pretty small, weighing only between 7.6 to 9.8 ounces. They have short fur that is usually olive or greyish in color, with bright yellow legs and a white face (although there is a variation in color based on their subspecies). They are highly social animals, living in large troops of around 40-50 monkeys on average, although up to 500 individuals have been reported!
Vervet Monkey
This small, black-faced, greenish-olive colored monkey lives in Southern and Eastern Africa. They are a highly social monkey species, living in troops of between 10-50 individuals, which are active during the day and sleep during the nighttime hours. There are multiple Vervet monkey subspecies, and they are the most widespread monkey species in Africa – ranging from Southern Sudan and Ethiopia all the way down to South Africa. There are four Vervet subspecies, including the Hilgert’s Vervet monkey, Pemba Vervet monkey, Southern Vervet monkey, and the Reddish-Green Vervet monkey.
The Vervet monkey prefers a diet of wild fruits, flowers, nectar, leaves, deeds, seed pods, grasshoppers, termites, and also sometimes farm crops. They are incredibly adaptable species, however, they often occupy human settlements and are perceived as pests in many of those areas. The Vervet monkey lives in savannah regions, open woodlands, forests, and grassland areas near rivers and lakes.

Monkey Life-Size Taxidermy, Shoulder Mounts, & Skulls
We have several different options for taxidermy collectors, including life-size mounts showing the monkey walking alongside African brush, grooming another monkey, or climbing/swinging on a tree branch. Our life size mounts will look best paired with a custom habitat like a tree branch, vegetation, etc. to make it really look at home in its natural habitat! We also have shoulder mounts to focus on the eyes, muzzle, and open mouth/teeth of the primate. Monkey shoulder mounts are perfect for showing the wide range of emotions that these primates are capable of displaying – from a peaceful stance, to aggression, to communicating/calling to other monkeys in their troop.
Lastly, the monkey skulls we have available in our store are perfect if you’re looking to expand your skull collection, or are searching for skulls and bones for your educational exhibition or museum. Our taxidermy monkey skulls are professionally cleaned using the Dermestid beetle-cleaning method for a bright white clean look. Our skulls show off the impressive teeth of the baboon, or other monkey species.
