# A Bit More on Tree Dwellers

Tree dwellers are capable of using simple tools. They will get at the meat of hard-shelled fruits by holding the fruit in their rear paws like a vise and cracking the shell with a rock. They've also been seen using sticks to swat at misbehaving pups.   
  
On a somewhat related note, while I've detailed the two members of the genus *Vulpithecus*, there are likely higher taxa of vulpithicids and vulpithecoids with extant members. They may be more vulpes than pithecus or more pithecus than vulpes.
