Caipora (SciiFii)

The woolly golden saki (Caipora bambuiorum), also known as the golden woolly saki, is a species of New World monkey, member of the Atelidae family (which also includes spider monkeys, howler monkeys, and relatives), despite its name, that originally lived during the Pleistocene in what is now Brazil's Toca da Boa Vista cave, alongside the larger Protopithecus, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced throughout the rainforests of Brazil to help boost biodiversity. The woolly golden saki is a large-bodied monkey, weighing on average of about 20.5 kilograms. The woolly golden saki has a postcranial skeleton is more robust than other New World monkeys, but not as robust as Protopithecus. Its upper limbs are very long, and the neurocranium is more rounded than is typical in New World monkeys. Like the genera Ateles and Brachyteles, it is a specialised suspensory climber and clamberer. The woolly golden saki is an omnivore that mainly eats fruit, nuts, insects and larvae, eggs and young birds, frogs, lizards, rodents and even bats. They are also known to chase cats. The woolly golden saki is a diurnal, arboreal primate species, spending most of its time foraging on food and grooming others of its species. The woolly golden saki lives in groups of two to twenty or more animals. A single group usually contains at least one adult male, but mixed groups with multiple males do also occur. In that case, one of the males is dominant. He accepts only a few monkeys in his direct surroundings, mainly younger animals and a few females. The dominant male and the group members that are close to him have the privilege to eat first in case of food scarcity, while subordinate monkeys have to wait until they are ready. The conservation status of the woolly golden saki is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the woolly golden saki's wide natural range.
