====== A Bit More on Tree Dwellers ======

{{xwpnqky.png|image}}



Tree dwellers are capable of using simple tools. They will get at the meat of hard-shelled fruits by holding the fruit in their rear paws like a vise and cracking the shell with a rock. They've also been seen using sticks to swat at misbehaving pups.



On a somewhat related note, while I've detailed the two members of the genus //Vulpithecus//, there are likely higher taxa of vulpithicids and vulpithecoids with extant members. They may be more vulpes than pithecus or more pithecus than vulpes.
