The gelada (Theropithecus gelada) is a species in the genus Geladas (Theropithecus), which looks most like a baboon. Geladas live in groups headed by a dominant male who watches over his harem and offspring. Males who take over a group kill the babies of their predecessor. Females who are still pregnant from the previous dominant male can avoid this murder by spontaneously having a miscarriage.
