Apidium

Apidium (Apidium moustafai) were small primates that lived in the late Eocene period. They were awesome at leaping. They leap to cross small paths with water in between. They looked a bit like Godinotias. Apidium means "small bull". They lived approximately 36-34 million years ago, when the Basilosaurus lived. They were omnivores that lived in North Africa in the tropical rainforests. They are some fruit, especially the ripe ones, and insects.

They were 25-30 centimetres long, without the tail. When their fossils were first found, scientists thought the fossils were cow or pig fossils. Then they found out that they were actually primates. Their closest living relatives are primates alive today.
