Emei red-faced monkey
The Emei red-faced monkey, also known as the Emei monkey, is a primate species native to the mountainous regions of China, particularly around Mount Emei. This monkey is easily recognized by its distinctive red face and short tail. It primarily inhabits subtropical forests and is known for its social behavior, often seen in groups.
These monkeys are primarily herbivorous, feeding on fruits, leaves, and flowers. They play a crucial role in their ecosystem by aiding in seed dispersal. The Emei red-faced monkey is currently classified as a vulnerable species due to habitat loss and human encroachment.
