Satyrus (ape)

Satyrus (ape)

Satyrus is a species of ape described in some medieval bestiaries. It is said to always give birth to twins. Of these twins, it hates one, but loves the other, just as the callitrix, cericopithicus and cynocephalus apes of medieval bestiaries. The ape is also described as lively and has a pleasant face.
