Although the majority of monkeys live in tropical rain forests, some have adapted to live in the open land of the savannas. The patas monkey, the vervet monkey and some species of baboon all live primarily in open brush, and each has evolved to their unconventional primate habitat in different ways.aboons, some of the largest monkeys in the world, also form complex troops of up to hundreds of baboons. Four species live on the savannas. These four species -- the Guinea, chacma, olive and yellow baboons -- are often referred to as a singular species, the savanna baboon, by some biologists.
