Okay, definitely monkey, but imagine a lemur that weighs as much as you do!
Koala lemurs were five feet long, averaged 187 pounds, and ate mostly leaves. And yes, they still lived in trees. (Un)fortunately these giants have been extinct for at least 500 years. Possibly our fault, possibly not. There are no longer any giant lemurs on Madagascar.
They were apparently a close relative of the red-fronted lemur. And it's kind of a shame they aren't around any more. (They're called koala lemurs because they had hands similar to koalas).
