Khoratpithecus chiangmuanensis

Khoratpithecus chiangmuanensis is an extinct pongin ape, a member of the group that includes the living orangutans, from the Late Miocene of Thailand. It was described in 2003 by Chaimanee, Jolly, Benammi, Tafforeau, Duzer, Moussa and Jaeger as Lufengpithecus chiangmuanensis and was later moved into Khoratpithecus, a genus of three species that lived between about 9 and 7 million years ago in Myanmar and Thailand. For the genus as a whole, dental microwear and dental topography indicate a frugivorous diet that favoured soft fruits over seeds and hard fruits, although the source states this for the genus only.
