The Long-armed Ziddah (Araneapithecus manucaudata) is an arboreal monkey species which inhabits the African rainforests about 50 million years in the future.
Biology[]
This animal is notable for having extremely long limbs, contrasting with its small rotund body. Its fur is dark in coloration and it has a long prehensile tail used for hanging on the tree branches while asleep or at rest. Like a modern gibbon, it moves around primarily by brachiation. When asleep it curls into a ball with its long limbs wrapped around its body.
