The golden monkey, with its long golden hair all over its body, is undoubtedly one of the most stunning and fascinating primates in the world.


This arboreal animal lives in dense woods at altitudes ranging from 1,500 to 3,300 meters year-round, where it moves gracefully back and forth like a golden elf, freely and agilely, with its long tail wagging behind to help maintain balance.


The golden monkey's fur is so fine and soft that it glows with a golden hue in the sunlight, making it both dazzling and beautiful. Additionally, the monkey has sapphire eyes, a blue face, and a skyward nose, making it an extremely eye-catching primate.


Among all monkeys, the golden monkey is undoubtedly one of the best-looking.


Golden snub-nosed monkeys live in dense woods, where they eat fruit from trees and climb for long periods, making them agile and able to move quickly.


They are omnivorous and eat plants as their primary food source, feeding on more than 30 types of plants such as the large-leaved lady's mantle, small-leaved lady's mantle, water hyacinth, yellow-flowered willow, red-barked willow, hammer elm, large-leaved boxwood, small-leaved boxwood, and pine loosestrife. They also eat various insects, birds, and bird eggs occasionally.


Golden monkeys have a typical family lifestyle, with members taking care of each other, foraging for food, and playing together. The young golden monkeys are inquisitive, mischievous, and loved by their parents.


However, when they reach adulthood, the young males are kicked out of their homes by their fathers and left to live independently in the wild.


Every autumn is the estrus period for golden monkeys, with the sexual maturity period being earlier for females than for males. Females become sexually mature at around 4-5 years old, while males reach sexual maturity at around 7 years old.


Mating occurs throughout the year, but the peak of mating occurs during the three months from August to October. The gestation period is approximately six months, and most golden monkeys give birth in March to April, with some giving birth in February or May.


Female monkeys typically give birth to one litter, occasionally two. The newborn monkeys have dark blue faces, and brown fur, cry-like babies, and weigh more than one kilogram after one month.


The golden monkey is a fascinating and beautiful primate that is agile and graceful in the woods where it lives. Its stunning golden fur, sapphire eyes, and blue face make it one of the best-looking monkeys in the world. Its family lifestyle, foraging habits, and mating behaviors are all unique, making it an animal worthy of admiration and respect.


The golden monkey's habitat is subtropical mountainous evergreen and deciduous broad-leaved mixed forests, where it feeds on various plants, insects, and occasionally birds and bird eggs. With its unique appearance, agility, and fascinating behaviors, the golden monkey is undoubtedly a primate that captures the hearts of many animal lovers around the world.
