Гадропитек
Sign in to saveHadropithecus is a medium-sized, extinct genus of lemur, or strepsirrhine primate, from Madagascar that includes a single species, Hadropithecus stenognathus. Due to its rarity and lack of sufficient skeletal remains, it is one of the least understood of the extinct lemurs. Both it and Archaeolemur are collectively known as "monkey lemurs" or "baboon lemurs" due to body plans and dentition that suggest a terrestrial lifestyle and a diet similar to that of modern baboons. Hadropithecus had extended molars and a short, powerful jaw, suggesting that it was both a grazer and a seed predator.

Гадропитеки (лат. Hadropithecus) — вымерший монотипический род лемуров семейства археолемуровых. Обитали на Мадагаскаре в плейстоцене и голоцене вплоть до исторического времени, по-видимому, вели наземный образ жизни.
