My future creature project is an adaptation of the Woolly Monkey to make it more prepared for changes coming with climate change in the not-so-distant future. One of the changes I made was making the fur of the monkey white, and also less thick. These changes will make it so that the monkey will be less susceptible to heat. Another change I made was making the monkey less tall (going from about 1.6 ft to around 1-1.25 ft tall) to allow for easier climbing in high trees, hiding from predators, and finding food closer to ground level. The final change I made was making the monkey's feet smaller and slightly differently shaped to allow for even better and faster climbing.
