Why do baboons live in Asia and Africa?

Baboons primarily inhabit Africa and parts of the Arabian Peninsula, as these regions provide the diverse ecosystems and resources necessary for their survival. They thrive in savannas, woodlands, and grasslands, where they can find food and maintain social structures. While some species, like the hamadryas baboon, can be found in the Arabian Peninsula, their range is largely concentrated in Africa due to historical evolutionary pathways and the availability of suitable habitats.
