Raboon

Raboons are large fully terrestrial bipedal monkeys native to the African grasslands.

Description
They are the largest species of monkeys on Earth, being slightly larger than apes such as gorillas, ranging from the size of a gelada to the size of a Mesozoic Dilophosaurus, depending on a species. They have long and thick tails for balancing their bodies. Their bodies are thick and their back legs are large and strong, allowing them to walk on their hind legs similar to the non-avian theropod dinosaurs. Raboons have short arms with strong grasping hands with sharp claws to disembowel large prey such as gigantelopes, elephants, and such, but usually they are scavengers, prefering to steal kills from lions, hyenas, horranes, and some other native predators. These predators have long hairless faces with sharp teeth designed to rip out chunks of flesh.

Distribution
The raboons are actually very common, despite their large size, throughout most of African grasslands. They were also accidentally introduced to both California and Texas 1960s-1970s due to zoo/safari park escapees, where they are, by all accounts, thriving.

Behavior
Raboons are very territorial and can bite and slash at any intruders in their territory. They are, however, tame towards humans, despite raboons being fully carnivorous, as humans are very friendly towards raboons due to they consider and view raboons as good luck, so humans constantly feed them fresh and rotten meat of cows, pigs, sheep, and goats.

Conservation Status
They are a protected species, despite being still common throughout their native ranges. They are immune to lead poisoning in carcasses, unlike vultures, so they aren't negatively effected by this kind of hunt from humans. Due to raboons being viewed as good luck by religious humans, the raboons are often found in human settlements across Africa, where they flourish due to the abundance of meat.
