I'm trying to find a good pic of a male Usumbara Baboon, but haven't found one . I'm trying to figure out if mine is a male or not.
thanks

This one isn't wonderful, but you can see the "boxing gloves" on the ends on the palps.

There is little sexual dimorphism in this species until the maturing molt, so unless you have a mature male, you won't be able to tell that much of a difference by just glancing at them.

Not a P. murinus, but an Avic avic male, you can clearly see his "boxing gloves"

Thanks for the pics. I haven't seen the boxing gloves on mine yet , but it have little protusions underneath its front two legs, I am not sure if its just some slightly curled hair or if its tibial spurs. I hope its not spurs, because I'm not sure if I would want to breed this species or not.If it does turn out to be a male, maybe I could trade it for a female or something.
