3.5 million hp: Thin-bodied apes parapresbitis weighing more than 30 kg
Monkey-like monkeys from the family of thin-bodied monkeys lived in the frame of oz. Baikal on the Khambinsky ridge (the location of Udung in Western Transbaikalia in Buryatia) more than 3.5 million years ago. The study of the morphology of the teeth and skull of monkeys from the Khambinsky ridge was the first discovery of fossils of monkeys in Russia. This made it possible to isolate a new genus of monkey-like monkeys Parapresbytis, and the re-study of the remains of a thin monkey from the late Pliocene of Northern Mongolia showed the eligibility to classify them into a new genus and species of the Colobidae family - Parapresbytis eohanuman, which has morphological similarities with the modern genus [4]
Parapresbitis were large monkeys weighing more than 30 kg, comparable in size to a bear baboon. On the northern edge of Central Asia, P. eohanuman apparently occupied territories with habitable landscapes and, as a sister gulman (Presbytis entellus), lived in trees and fed on leaves, flowers and fruits. Thin-bodied monkeys (P. eohanuman) along with other mammals at the end of the early Pliocene occupied ecological niches in mountain forests with vertical zonation, this distribution confirms the composition of the flora. Range close in morphology to parapresbitis of modern Himalayan nosed thin bowls (Rhinopithecus), covering montane forests with pronounced vertical zonality, does not refute this assumption.
