Where they live close to agricultural production and can raid crops, supplementing their natural diets with fruits, vegetables, and grains grown by local people, the average weights are slightly higher.

Olive baboons are sexually dimorphic; males have a size advantage nearly double that of females. Average male height is roughly 2.3 feet (70.1 cm), with females coming in around about 2 feet (60 cm) tall.

Olive baboons are polygynandrous (promiscuous) meaning both the males and females have multiple partners. Females seek out the males, generally the strong, well-established ones. There is no breeding season, though mating during the rainy season is more common.
