GOLDEN SNUB-NOSED MONKEY
The golden snub-nosed monkey , also known as the snub-nosed leaf monkey, the orange monkey and the Sichuan golden-haired monkey, is a small monkey that can only be found in the mountains of central and southwest China, including the mountains of Tibet. It ranges from 20 to 26 inches long and can live for over 20 years. Why do snub-nosed monkeys have such short noses? You might wonder. Well, it’s because they live in cold forests high up in the mountains. In such a cold place, a long nose would be difficult to keep warm. It might even get frost-bitten. Another adaptation snub-nosed monkeys have to the cold is their thick, long fur. Female golden snub-nosed monkeys give birth to just one infant each year, particularly from March to June. The infant is born gray, not golden and become golden in adulthood. In the wild, golden snub-nosed monkeys spend most of their time up in the trees where they sleep, feed and socialize. What do golden snub-nosed m...
