New World Monkeys
A branch-off from the modern new world
monkey family. The design resembles what
we are familiar with in today's New world
monkeys, the nostrils are small, round and
set far apart. Unlike today's new world
monkeys, there are some species in this
family that inhabit ground levels and even
the plains, like baboons.

Diusimus
These so-called rock monkeys live in
cliffs in western South America. They
are very sure-footed on the rocks and
use this to their advantage to escape
predators like the Deinognathids. They
live in groups of up to 10 individuals.
The males lead the way in this society.

Cantantia
These are monkeys of the deep jungles of
the Amazon. The tail is long and prehensile.
Like today's siamang gibbons, these monkeys
have a huge pouch on the throat that inflates
and acts to echo their calls out for many miles
through the forests. The loud, booming barks
even resembles that of the siamang gibbons.
They live in family groups that are rather
small, no more than about 5 or 6 individuals.

Ovilestes
These are rather small monkeys that have
sharp tusks for breaking open egg shells of
ground-nesting birds. These monkeys live in
couples, that separate during the day when
they hunt. They roost in hollows in trees.

Bombypellis
These are truly the baboons of the North
American plains, though they are much
larger than the baboons found in Africa
today. They also hold their tails up when
they are in motion, unlike baboons that
hold their tails drooped over. The fur of
this monkey is long, thick and very silky in
feel. They live in large groups and graze
on grass or feed on anything they can
find. They are very opportunistic feeders
and feed on anything from grass and
berries to small animals, even hunting
rabbucks.

Pampasimus
This is the smallest of the pentadactyls during
the Metazoic. Another paradox about these
monkeys, they do not live in trees, but prefer to
live in the tall grass found in the South
American meadows. They live in small groups
that make a small, ball-shaped nest to roost in
together. The tail is not prehensile, but they
carry the tail in a ring when they are climbing.

Pithecoros
This is a monkey of the mountainous
regions of central North America. The tail is
long and very flat. These monkeys use this
tail to wrap themselves up during a snow
blizzard or as shelter against the rain or as
a visor against the bright sunlight. The tail
is covered with triple layers of thick fur for
insulation. It is so effective at keeping these
monkeys sheltered they don't even shiver
during very cold blasts.
