Babookari out on the prairie

The babookari is a species of monkey living in the prairies of the Amazon in 5 million years time.

The babookari is thelast primate species at its time. It is, on average, three feet tall and weighs 55 pounds.

A descendent of modern day Uakari monkeys, when the rain forest fell due to the ice age 5 million years from now, and the new need for protection, they evolved as group oriented primates. Living in highly social tribes, they use their bright colors and long tail to signal other babookari when danger is near, or to signal and communicate with other members of the troop.

As they are omnivorous, will eat almost any plant or meat tissue that they can find, but in order to supplement their poor diet due to the lack of nutrients found on the Amazon prairies, they often weave net-like baskets to capture fish, and will do it with other members of the troop, passing on the skill that is seen as necessary for their survival in the arid landscape. The species only main competitor, as well as predator on the prairie is the carakiller, a nine foot tall bird that could easily capture and kill a single, wandering babookari that strayed from its group.
