Fauna of South Africa
The largest primate in the region, excluding humans, is the chacma baboon. A true generalist, it is found in virtually all habitats in South Africa. The other primates in the region are the vervet monkey and the Samango monkey. They are mainly frugivores, although they are true opportunists and may take eggs and nestlings from bird nests.
Sauropoda
The best evidence indicates that the most massive were "Argentinosaurus" (120 metric tons), "Puertasaurus" (80 to 100 metric tons ), "Alamosaurus", "Paralititan", "Antarctosaurus" (69 metric tons). There was poor (and now missing) evidence that so-called "Bruhathkayosaurus", might have weighed over 175 metric tons but this has been questioned. The weight of "Amphicoelias fragillimus" was estimated at 122.4 metric tons but 2015 research argued that these estimates may have been highly exaggerated. The largest land animal alive today, the Savannah elephant, weighs no more than .
