Niko should be listed as a monkey, not a langur
It really doesn't make sense to me why he isn't considered a monkey, when as a langur he's automatically a monkey. It's no different from saying Harriet is a dog when she's specifically stated to be a poodle, which is a type of dog. From what I can gather, this decision was made on the basis that the wiki considers characters like Wilbur Dodos rather than Birds, but that's completely different as far as I'm concerned, as "Birds" as Animal Crossing calls them are basically songbirds, so different from other species that are birds as we would call them. 88.105.80.200 16:53, October 18, 2021 (EDT)
