Rosenberger has objected to this hypothesis and has suggested that Xenothrix was a Jamaican owl monkey, [7] thus modifying his earlier view. He based his conclusions on the fairly large orbit size as inferred from the preserved orbital rim, large inferior orbital fissure , and the large I1 alveolus as compared to the I2 alveolus.
This is a list of maximum recorded animal lifespans in captivity.Only animals from the classes of the Chordata phylum are included. [1] On average, captive animals (especially mammals) live longer than wild animals.

Rats, mice, and hamsters experience maximum life-span extension from a diet that contains all of the nutrients but only 40–60% of the calories that the animals consume when they can eat as much as they want. Mean life span is increased 65% and maximum life span is increased 50%, when caloric restriction is begun just before puberty. [57]
Xenotrichini (the Antilles monkeys) is a tribe of extinct primates, which lived on the Greater Antilles as recently as the 16th century. These Caribbean islands no longer contain endemic primates, although the most recently discovered species, the Hispaniola monkey , was reported to have lived on Hispaniola until the settlement by the Europeans.
A specimen of the extinct Jamaican monkey (Xenothrix mcgregori) was found by an American Museum of Natural History expedition c. 1993–1996. Fossil remains of the Jamaican flightless ibis ( Xenicibis xympithecus ) and the Jamaican caracara ( Caracara tellustris ) have also been found there.
