False horrane (SciiFii)

The false horrane (Psudeophobocebus deinodontus) is a species of monkey that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the African open woodlands and grasslands to help boost biodiversity. As its name suggests, it is not related to the baboons nor true horranes, instead, the closest living relative of the false horrane is the vervet monkey. The false horrane is a medium-sized monkey, about the size of an average-sized olive baboon when fully grown. It is fully carnivorous and mainly feeds on carrion, eggs, and small-to-medium-sized prey animals such as gazelles, etc. Unlike true horranes, it doesn't knuckle-walk and instead uses its thickened claw-like nails to provide traction, similarly to cheetahs. To dispatch its prey, the false horrane uses large blade-like canines to rip out chunks of flesh. It also has a lifestyle and lifecycle very similar to the gray wolves of Eurasia and North America, filling the similar ecological niches to the large canines not native to Africa. The conservation status of the false horrane is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the false horrane's wide range and its tolerance to most of human activities.
