By a strange coincidence: after I last edited the comment, I stumbled across an article about 'the only baboons outside Africa'. They live in Arabia. So, while I suggested in an earlier canon discussion Roylott's baboon would have been a hanuman monkey, it does seem he could have picked up a real baboon on some tip through the Red Sea.
