Cericopithicus

Cericopithicus


Cericopithicus is a species of ape described in some medieval bestiaries. It is said to always give birth to twins, of which it will always hate one and love the other. The callitrix, cynocephalus and satyrus apes of medieval bestiaries are described as doing this. The cericopithicus apes are said to have long beards and wide tails. All that is provided about this ape is that it has a tail.
