Saimiri Oerstedii Oerstedii

An anatomy exercise that got a little out of hand, but I was able to learn a lot from it. Reference material on squirrel monkey anatomy was tricky to find, but the local zoo was able to help me out with old X-rays that allowed me to make the skeleton. The muscles were based on human anatomy, with the exception of the tail, for which I was able to refer to veterinarian reference books for dogs and horses.
