callosity
A callosity is another name for callus, a piece of skin that has become thickened as a result of repeated contact and friction. == Monkeys == When occurring on an animal's buttocks, as with baboons, they are specifically called ischial callosities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ischial callosities )〕 They enable the monkeys to sleep sitting upright on thin branches, beyond reach of predators, without falling. The ischial callosities are one of the most distinctive pelvic features which separates Old World monkeys from New World monkeys.〔Steudel (1981), p 399〕
