👉 Cynops is a genus of extinct apes from Africa, which lived during the Cenozoic era. These primates were known for their large, burrowing teeth and long claws that allowed them to dig deeply into the ground. They were also known for their ability to climb trees and other obstacles in order to access food sources. The term "cynops" is derived from the Greek word "kynos," meaning "large" or "big."
