If you take a look at these pictures of the Gelada Baboon you can see why it is also called the Bleeding Heart Baboon. Males and females have a bright patch of heart-shaped skin on their chests, though the females is far less pronounced. However, when the female is ready to mate the patch will begin to brighten and a “necklace” of fluid filled blisters forms on the patch, signaling she’s rarin’ to go.
