Gelada Reserve, originally called Baboon Reserve, opened in 1990. It is a two-acre recreation of the [[Ethiopian highlands]] which, at the time of its opening, was the largest primate exhibit in the United States.<ref name="bz-baboons">{{cite web |url=http://www.bronxzoo.com/animals-and-exhibits/exhibits/baboon-reserve.aspx |title=Baboon Reserve |publisher=Bronx Zoo |access-date=May 31, 2010 |archive-date=January 16, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150116041944/http://www.bronxzoo.com/animals-and-exhibits/exhibits/baboon-reserve.aspx |url-status=live}}</ref> The exhibit's main features revolve around the zoo's troop of [[gelada]]s such as artificial rocks and earthbanks, and displays about life in the highlands and the side-by-side [[evolution]] of [[human]]s and geladas. Visitors can watch the geladas from multiple viewpoints along with [[Nubian ibex]] and [[rock hyrax]], all of which are mixed together in the hilly enclosure. An African village-styled café overlooks the exhibit. Baboon Reserve won the AZA Exhibit Award in 1991.<ref name="bz-baboons"/><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.zoolex.org/zoolexcgi/view.py?id=718 |title=ZooLex Exhibit |access-date=January 20, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305123056/http://www.zoolex.org/zoolexcgi/view.py?id=718 |archive-date=March 5, 2016 |url-status=dead}}</ref> In the fall of 2014, a male gelada was born at the zoo, the first in over 13 years, and was the only zoo in the US to display them until the [[San Diego Zoo]] in 2017 received their gelada troop for their Africa Rocks exhibit.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://newsroom.wcs.org/News-Releases/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/6711/WCSs-Bronx-Zoo-Debuts-First-Gelada-Baboon-Born-in-NYC-in-13-years.aspx |title=WCS's Bronx Zoo Debuts First Gelada Baboon Born in NYC in 13 years |access-date=March 2, 2016 |archive-date=March 6, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160306215605/http://newsroom.wcs.org/News-Releases/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/6711/WCSs-Bronx-Zoo-Debuts-First-Gelada-Baboon-Born-in-NYC-in-13-years.aspx |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals/gelada-baboon |title=Gelada Baboon – San Diego Zoo Animals |access-date=March 2, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160401035909/http://animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals/gelada-baboon |archive-date=April 1, 2016 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
