Sichuan Golden Monkeys

Sichuan golden monkeys, also known as golden snub-nosed monkeys, are a species native to the mountainous forests of central and southwestern China. They are highly adapted to their environment, living in temperate forests at high altitudes and spending most of their time in trees. Conservation efforts have helped some populations thrive, but the species faces threats from habitat loss. They have golden fur, a distinctive pale blue face, and a short, snub-nosed snout.
