Theropithecus oswaldi (SciiFii)

The giant gelada (Theropithecus oswaldi), also known as the short-tailed gelada, is a species of large, terrestrial monkey that originally lived in Africa around the Early to Mid Pleistocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern riverine forests, open woodlands, and grasslands of Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, South Africa, Spain, Morocco and Algeria to help boost biodiversity. It is most closely related to the common gelada (Theropithecus gelad), also known as the pygmy gelada (for its smaller size than the greater gelada). The giant gelada is quadrupedal with highly dexterous, manipulative hands like most Old World monkeys. As its name implies, it is larger than the common gelada, with the average adult giant gelada weighing between 50-100 kilograms. The males have brightly-colored chests similar to those of male common geladas. Like all living gelada species, the males possesses large canine teeth, primarily for display. The giant gelada is completely herbivorous and feeds mainly on grasses, roots, and tubers. The natural habitats of the giant gelada includes riverine forests, open woodlands, and grasslands. It is a social animal that lives in troops led by a leading male. The conservation status of the giant gelada is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the giant gelada's wide natural range.
