Otavipithecus
Otavipithecus namibiensis is an extinct species of ape from the Miocene of Namibia.The fossils were discovered at the Berg Aukas mines in the foothills of the Otavi mountains, hence the generic name.The species was described in 1992 by Glenn Conroy and colleagues, and was at the time the only non-hominin fossil ape known from Southern Africa.The scientists noted that the surrounding area of the discovered specimen included fauna dated at "about 13 ± 1 Myr".[3] The unspecialised teeth have only a thin layer of enamel, implying a diet of soft vegetation such as fruit and young leaves.
