Ardipithecus

"Ardipithecus ramidus". It means "ground ape in our familiar tree". This apes
were early hominids that they lived 5 million years ago, when the East of
Africa turn into savannahs for a global drougth. Ardipithecus lived in the
edges of the small forest and slowly they became savannah apes. This is the
ancestor of Australopithecus and also our own ancestor, so take care of it to
conservate this rare animal in your zoo.Made by Grey_Wolf ;-)
