👉 Gaboons are small, nocturnal mammals native to Africa. They are commonly found in savannas and grasslands, where they feed on a variety of plants and insects. Some species are also known for their ability to communicate with each other through a system called gaboon calls, which can be heard over long distances. Gaboons have been used as pets and as wild animals in zoos for many years, but their populations continue to decline due to habitat loss, hunting, and human activities.
