Nocturnal Dog-Nosed Monkey

The Nocturnal Dog-Nosed Monkey is a nocturnal, insectivorous cercopithecine Old World monkey from the jungles of Congolinda on Gaia.

About the size of a house cat, it was active mostly at night, not during the day unlike other monkeys and apes, though it wasn't bothered by daylight either, but still most active at night, when they awoke and began to hunt for insects in the trees and outside, and also to mate. They are depicted as black-and-white monkeys with somewhat dog-like faces, hence the name. As you might expect, Dog-Nosed Monkeys are insectivores and do not prefer plants or fruit, but they eat insects for a reason. When Dog-Nosed Monkeys eat insects, they are given 35 grams of protein, which makes them more energetic at night for hunting, mating, running, and maybe just messing around. However, they have to be careful for predators at night, like snakes, birds of prey, giant arthropods, etc. Unlikely for them, Dog-Nosed Monkeys cannot sense vibrations, like other monkeys on Earth, so they have to be extra careful on the forest floor and on the trees. Also, the reason why they do not prefer plants is because of the shape of their teeth. Their teeth are similar to a chimpanzee’s, but they are way more weaker and are smaller, so they are more built for crunching up small insects rather than eating fruits or vegetables.
