The Jumper Govinks were a compact offshoot of the Govink. Their powerful hind legs allowed them to leap from tree to tree. The paws at the ends of their middle limbs were hand like, allowing them to better climb the trees.
Rudimentary jaws allowed them to better eat everything they can get in their claws. They even gnawed at the bark of the azrach trees for sustenance.
They lived in loosely scattered groups, usually hunting climbing boomers and eating fruits. Their main threats were the higitains(which are still the dominant predators of these forests).

Only few survived into adulthood. An increased number of offspring guaranteed that at least few would survive.

They had a curious mental trait. Because of the shortage of food, the ones who attempted to taste and eat strange foods were able to survive to breed more often than the ones who tried to stick to the lesser quantities of familiar prey.
Over time, this trait had manifested itself as almost suicidal curiosity. When they got interested in something, they quickly became very distracted from their surroundings. They would poke a sleeping higitain in the eye, and the ones who survived would probably have learned something.
