Dinopithecus (SciiFii)

Dinopithecus ("terrible ape") is a genus of very large baboon that lived during the Pliocene to the Pleistocene epoch of South Africa.[1][2] It was named by Scottish paleontologist Robert Broom in 1937.[3] The only species currently recognized is Dinopithecus ingens, as D. quadratirostris has been reassigned to the genus Soromandrillus.[4] It is known from several infilled cave sites in South Africa, all of early Pleistocene age, including Skurweberg, Swartkrans (Member 1), and Sterkfontein (Member 4 or 5, but probably member 4).[1][2][5]
