A macaqueti eating bamboo in its montane forest habitat.
The Macaqueti, Montemacaca ailuropodoforme, is a great ape-like descendant of the Japanese macaque that lives in the island of what was once Japan, in the Eastern Eurasian Subcontinent in 50 million years, during the Posthomic Era.
The Japanese archipelago is being absorbed to the eastern side of the Eurasian continent by crustal movements and becomes a high mountain range (a figure close to the current Andes mountains). The natural enemy is a big, eagle-like bird. It does its usual movement, but when attacked by a natural enemy, it dodges with an unimaginable instantaneous force. However, it must go to sleep for a couple of days to regain that strength. When it's very cold, it shrinks its big body and cover it face and limbs with long hair that grows on its hands and feet to warm my body and sleep. It's Hair is poisonous and provides protection when attacked by natural enemies. It copulate once a year.
