Description
Mouse Lemur-like mammal of a world where the Kpg extinction event never happened. Unrelated to the “speculative arboreal primate-like mesozoic mammal” art I've drawn recently.

About 30 million years post the Kpg extinction in our timeline, this hardly little primate descended from what we currently believe lead to us in our timeline, Purgatorius. Because a majority of both avian and the non-avian dinosaurs (and others) remained at the top of the food chain, that has continued to overshadow mammalian species just as it was in the Mesozoic. Though exactly like in our timeline where the hotbox climate that gave rise to Titanoboa and other crazy large reptiles, the gradual cooling and drying climate as a result of the converging continents is giving the mammals a leg up on the arms race with the dinosaurs.

With a body the size of a human’s hand and it’s total length (head to tail) about to your elbow, this little mammal is exceptionally large for a tree dwelling mammal. A method of keeping the predators from sneaking up behind it, they’ve developed eye spots like that of a moth or tiger. If that doesn’t work, flicking of the tail in a fashion identical to Ringtails and distracting the would be predator long enough to escape. They live in colonies of about 30 individuals.
