Rhinopithecus roxellana
Rhinopithecus roxellana, commonly known as the golden snub-nosed monkey, is a primate species native to the mountainous forests of central and southwestern China. These monkeys are easily recognized by their distinctive flat noses and vibrant golden fur, which helps them adapt to their cold, high-altitude habitats.
Golden snub-nosed monkeys live in social groups and primarily feed on leaves, fruits, and flowers. They are known for their unique vocalizations, which help maintain group cohesion. Due to habitat loss and hunting, Rhinopithecus roxellana is classified as endangered, prompting conservation efforts to protect their populations and habitats.
