Hadropithecus (SciiFii)

The monkey lemur (Hadropithecus papio) is a species of medium-sized baboon-like lemur found throughout the forests and open woodlands of Madagascar. It was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to the open woodlands of Madagascar, and has ever since spread to more habitats. It is a rather large lemur species, growing to be around the size of a macaque in length and weigh between 27 and 35 kg (60 and 77 lb). It is named due to its appearance being somewhat similar to large monkeys like baboons, and due to its ecological niche similar to that of many species of open woodland monkeys. Unlike most other large lemurs native to Madagascar, the conservation status of the monkey lemur is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the monkey lemurs being tolerant to the non-native pigs (unlike the original species which were outcompeted to extinction by pigs). The monkey lemurs are able to adapt very well to life in the cities and suburbs, unlike many lemurs of Madagascar, due to its lifestyle and niche similar to true monkeys, so they are everyday residents to many city people.
