A few concepts for a speculative late cretaceous mammal w/ an arboreal lifestyle akin to what primates/other tree dwellers would follow post-Kpg extinction.

I'm sad that we could have gotten elephants (Palaeoloxodon) that are bigger then some Jurassic Period Sauropods and cretaceous Hadrosaurs/Ceratopsians
Palaeoloxodon antiquus (left) could have weighed up to 15 tons and went extinct 30,000 years ago
