Normal biometric ranges for fetal growth in a captive breeding baboon ( Papio hamadryas ) colony are described. Measurements include crown‐rump length, biparietal diameter, binocular distance, head circumference, abdominal circumference, femur length and amniotic fluid index. The pattern of fetal growth is compared with other baboon subspecies and man. The uses and limitations of such data for breeding colony management and optimum utilisation of experimentally derived data are discussed.
