What's so special about golden monkeys?

Question 1: The characteristics of Yunnan golden monkey Yunnan golden monkey is one of the rare animals in the world endemic to China. It only exists in Baimang Snow Mountain Nature Reserve and Samag Nature Reserve. Experts believe that the golden monkey here has at least two characteristics that are the best in the world: among the nearly 200 primates in the world, Defoe has very few species above 2000 meters above sea level, while Yunnan golden monkey has an altitude of about 4000 meters. The absolute height of this distribution is very rare. In addition, Yunnan golden monkey has a pair of charming good looks of "white face and red lips", which makes it win the reputation of "the most beautiful primate". Wide lips, red, a pair of almond eyes, upturned nose, very beautiful. The cubs are gray and naive. There are four kinds of golden monkeys: Yunnan golden monkey, Guizhou golden monkey, Sichuan golden monkey and Vietnam golden monkey. Among them, except Sichuan golden monkey, the other three species have no golden hair. The body hair of Yunnan golden monkey is mainly black-gray and white. It has black hair on its back, white hair on its hips, abdomen and chest, and a white face.

Question 2: What are the appearance characteristics of golden monkey? Golden monkeys are characterized by large nostrils, upturned lips and no cheek pouches, which evolved to adapt to altitude hypoxia.

Among them, Sichuan golden monkey has golden hair, long hair on the shoulders and back, and a tail equal to or longer than the body. Adult males have an average length of 680 mm and a tail of 685 mm.

Guizhou golden monkey is similar to Sichuan golden monkey in body shape, but its tail is longer, with a body length of 637 ~ 690 mm and a tail length of 846 ~ 905 mm. Guizhou golden monkey's back is grayish brown with some yellow tones.

Yunnan golden monkey is slightly larger than Sichuan golden monkey, with a body length of 740 ~ 830 mm and a relatively short tail, which is slightly equal to the body length, about 510 ~ 720 mm. The back, sides, outer limbs, hands, feet and tail of Yunnan golden monkey are grayish black. There is sparse gray hair on his back. The neck, abdomen, buttocks and the inside of limbs are all white;

Nujiang golden monkey is black all over, only the face, chest and pestle are a little white. Generally, it weighs 20 ~ 30 kg, and the larger one is 35 ~ 45 kg, with a body length of about1.2m.:

Vietnamese golden monkey is small, with black chest and abdomen and light yellow inside limbs;

Myanmar golden monkey's coat color is almost all black, with a pinch of slender black hair curled forward on its head, a pinch of white hair on its ears and cheeks, pale pink facial skin and a unique white beard on its chin, which is white and easy to distinguish. The tail is long, which is almost 1.4 times of the body length. Adult male Burmese golden monkey is 55.5 cm long and 78 cm long.

Question 3: What are the life habits or characteristics of golden monkeys? Mainly living in trees, but also looking for something to eat on the ground. Feed on wild fruits, buds, bamboo shoots and bryophytes. The staple food is leaves, shoots, flowers and fruits, as well as bark and roots. I like insects, birds and eggs.

The female golden monkey takes good care of her tripod, especially during lactation. The mother monkey always holds the baby monkey tightly to her chest or grabs its tail, giving it no freedom to play at all. During this period, the husband who lived together day and night did his best to the "lady": he cut her hair and examined her scabbed skin, but he didn't want to touch his baby, let alone hug the little monkey and make out. The female golden monkey always holds the baby monkey with her back to her husband and does not give her husband a chance to caress her child.

Question 4: The habits and characteristics of golden monkeys.

Golden monkeys live in high mountains and dense forests. Mainly living in trees, but also looking for something to eat on the ground. Feed on wild fruits, buds, bamboo shoots and bryophytes. The staple food is leaves, shoots, flowers and fruits, as well as bark and roots. I like insects, birds and eggs. The female golden monkey shows meticulous care and love for her children, especially during lactation. The mother monkey always holds the little monkey tightly to her chest, or grabs the little monkey's tail and doesn't give it the freedom to play. During this period, the husband who lived together day and night did his best to the "lady": he cut her hair and examined her scabbed skin, but he didn't want to touch his baby, let alone hug the little monkey and make out.

Reproductive characteristics

golden monkey

Every autumn is the * * * period of golden monkey, and the sexual maturity of female monkey is earlier than that of male monkey, and the female monkey is about 4-5 years old, and the male monkey is about 7 years later. Mating occurs all year round, but the peak of mating is August-10, and the pregnancy is about 6 months, more than 3-4 months, and some of them give birth in February or May. The pregnant period of female monkeys is about 6 months, usually one child and occasionally two children. The newborn monkey's face is dark blue, its fur is brown and its cry is like a baby's cry. Weighing more than one kilogram after one month. In adult monkeys, the male-female ratio is about 1:2. Natural enemies include jackals, wolves, golden cats and leopards, as well as eagles, vultures and vultures.

living environment

Golden monkey is a typical forest arboreal animal, which lives in the forest at an altitude of1500-3300m all the year round. Its vegetation type and vertical distribution zone are Yunnan golden monkey.

It belongs to four vegetation types: subtropical mountain evergreen and deciduous broad-leaved mixed forest, subtropical deciduous broad-leaved forest, evergreen coniferous forest and secondary coniferous mixed forest. With the change of seasons, they don't migrate horizontally, but only move vertically in their habitats. In social life, all major clusters take small family clusters as their activity units. The largest group of primates can reach more than 600, and such a huge group is rare. The historical evolution of the golden monkey occurred in the Pleistocene period 654.38 million years ago. It is generally believed that the origin of golden monkey is related to the middle monkey (an ancient colobus monkey) in Europe from late Miocene to Pliocene and the Doliehcpithecus in Europe. The phylogenetic tree of golden monkey has always been controversial about the classification of the genus golden monkey. Some people have observed that it is fertile under artificial breeding and think that it should be four subspecies of the same species. At present, there is a consistent view that golden monkey was originally a species distributed in Hengduan Mountain area. Later, due to geological changes, reproductive isolation occurred and evolved into four species. This isolation occurred 25,000 years ago. These species are incomplete because of the short isolation time. According to different ecological characteristics, Yunnan golden monkey living in high altitude areas is called an evolutionary advanced species, while Vietnam golden monkey is relatively primitive, Sichuan golden monkey is closely related to Guizhou golden monkey, and Guizhou golden monkey is relatively primitive.

Living habits

Golden monkeys live in high mountains and dense forests. Mainly living in trees, but also looking for something to eat on the ground. Feed on wild fruits, buds, bamboo shoots and bryophytes. The staple food is leaves, shoots, flowers and fruits, as well as bark and roots. I like insects, birds and eggs. When eating, the mouth always looks so sweet! Chen Shuaifo, chairman of China Feng Shui Association, thinks the golden monkey is very beautiful: sky-blue face, big mouth and protruding mouth. Because its nostrils are extremely degraded, commonly known as "no nose bridge" and its nostrils are upside down, it is also called "upturned nose monkey". In ancient times, some people were worried that rain water would pour into the stomach from this special nostril when it rained. Therefore, it was recorded in ancient books that when it rained, the tail of the golden monkey bifurcated and blocked the nostril with two tail tips. In fact, there are no animals with forked tails among terrestrial mammals. This statement should be a rumor. Compared with other monkeys, golden monkeys are really beautiful, especially Sichuan golden monkeys. There is a longer and longer dark brown crown in the middle of the head, and the ears grow in cream-colored tufts. A circle of orange needle hair sets off brown cheeks, the chest and abdomen are pale yellow or white, and the buttocks are gray. The tail of the golden monkey is almost as long as its body, and the slender body has long soft golden hair, which can reach more than 30 centimeters at the longest. It hangs freely like a golden cloak, which is very beautiful. Such a dazzling coat has won it the reputation of "golden monkey". Family Lifestyle The golden monkey has a typical family life style. Members take care of each other, feed together and play together. In the golden monkey's home, the underage golden monkey is very curious and naughty, which is also >>

Question 5: How long does the golden monkey live? Sichuan golden monkey, also known as golden monkey, is found in Sichuan, Gansu, Shaanxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and Viet Nam in China. It is characterized by a blue face, upturned nostrils and long golden hair. The longest hair on its back is 33 cm. The golden monkey lives on a wooded mountain, with an altitude of about 3000 meters in summer and 1000 meters in winter. Arboreal creatures rarely come to the ground. Living in groups, more than ten to hundreds live together, led by an adult male monkey, male and female, old and young. They mainly eat all kinds of wild fruits, buds, branches, leaves and other plant foods, and sometimes they also eat birds and insects. The golden monkey is alert, agile and good at jumping. When in danger, they will run away quickly and it is difficult to be caught. Most of them mate in autumn and give birth in spring, and they are pregnant for 7-8 months. Every time they give birth, the newborn is dark brown and turns light yellow after one month. Pups are weaned at about 1 year old and mature at about 4 years old. The service life is 16- 18 years. There are three subspecies of golden monkey, in addition to this species, there are Yunnan golden monkey, also known as black golden monkey (R.r.bieti), Guizhou golden monkey, also known as grey golden monkey (R.rbrelichi), which is produced in Guizhou and the border of Sichuan and Guizhou. Golden monkey is a world-famous rare animal, which is listed as "rare" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.

Question 6: What is the height and weight of the golden monkey? Five points. Golden Monkey (Golden Monkey) Vertebrates, Mammals, Primates, Colombidae. Scientific name golden monkey English name golden monkey/golden monkey. Appearance characteristics: the body length is about 70 cm, and the tail length is about equal to or longer than the body length. Big nose, upturned. Thick lips, no cheek pouch. The hair on the back is long and shiny, and the color is cyan. The top of the head, neck, shoulders, upper arms, back and tail are gray-black, and the head, neck, ventral trunk and inner limbs are brown. Wool is soft. There are three kinds of golden monkeys in China: Sichuan golden monkey, Guizhou golden monkey, Yunnan golden monkey (and a Vietnamese golden monkey), all of which are listed as national first-class protected animals. The main differences are as follows: the face of Sichuan canary is sky blue, and the sides, chest and hind legs are golden yellow, which are distributed in Sichuan, Gansu and Shaanxi; The face of pagumogonimus bierjabini is white on both sides and distributed in Yunnan, Sichuan and the east of * * * *; There are 1 oval white hair areas between the two shoulders of Sparus brevidentatus, which are distributed between Guizhou and Sichuan. Reproductive characteristics Every autumn is the * * * period of golden monkeys, and the pregnant period of female monkeys is about 6 months, with one child in general and two children occasionally. The newborn monkey's face is dark blue, its fur is brown and its cry is like a baby's cry. Weighing more than one kilogram after one month. Living environment The golden monkey lives in broad-leaved forest and mixed coniferous and broadleaved forest at an altitude of1400-3000m. It is almost distributed in the same area as the giant panda, and it is also afraid of heat and cold. Living in a family group, the largest group of primates can reach more than 600, and such a large group is rare. Living habits Golden monkeys live in high mountains and dense forests. Mainly living in trees, but also looking for something to eat on the ground. Feed on wild fruits, buds, bamboo shoots and bryophytes.

The female golden monkey shows meticulous care and love for her children, especially during lactation. The mother monkey always holds the little monkey tightly to her chest, or grabs the little monkey's tail and doesn't give it the freedom to play. During this period, the husband who lived together day and night did his best to the "lady": he cut her hair and examined her scabbed skin, but he didn't want to touch his baby, let alone hug the little monkey and make out. The female golden monkey always holds the baby monkey with her back to her husband and doesn't give her husband a chance to caress her child. The Monkey King enjoys privileges in the group. It is reported that one evening, a group of golden monkeys were found stealing fruit from walnut trees and apple trees behind the stockade and fled in a hurry. Unfortunately, they were stopped by a small river, and the big golden monkey jumped over, but the little golden monkey couldn't jump over, so he screamed. The monkey king who crossed the river then issued an "order" asking a male monkey to cross the river to meet him. The male golden monkey jumped over the river again and picked up the little monkey to cross the river. The little golden silk monkey was thrown into the water because of panic. When the golden monkeys saw it, they ran desperately along the river to rescue them, and rescued the little golden silk monkey ashore downstream. The Monkey King angrily walked into the male golden monkey, "pa" is a slap in the face. The male golden monkey knows that he is wrong and must be punished in an appropriate way. The golden monkey has a very good memory. There was once such a thing in the zoo: a monkey king had a bad temper and scratched and bit the keeper. The keeper was so angry that he once punished the Monkey King for hitting him. Later, the breeder was transferred to other units. Half a year later, he came back to visit the golden monkey. The Monkey King recognized him in the crowd at once. In order to get revenge, he quickly found clods as "weapons" and threw them at the breeder's head, making the breeder laugh and cry. Among the golden monkeys in China, Yunnan golden monkeys live in the snow-capped mountains and fir forests in remote Yunnan and Tibet, and the number is only 1000; Money >>

The genus Rhinopithecus appeared in the Qinling Mountains of China during the Pleistocene/kloc-0.0 million years ago. It is generally believed that the origin of golden monkey is related to the middle monkey (an ancient colobus monkey) in Europe from late Miocene to Pliocene and the Doliehcpithecus in Europe.

After the discovery of the giant panda, the French missionary Pell? Pere David discovered another rare animal unique to China that people all over the world love: Sichuan golden monkey. From 1862 to 1874, the French missionary David sent plant specimens back to France and introduced many new plant species to France and Europe. In addition, 58 new species of birds, 100 new species of insects and many important new species of mammals were discovered in China, including the giant panda, golden monkey and elk endemic to China. After David came to China for the second time in 1867, he heard that there are many kinds of animals in western Sichuan, and some of them are rare and unknown, so he came to Baoxing County, Ya 'an City, Sichuan Province from Shanghai and served as the fourth generation pastor in Dunchigou Church in Donghe, Mu Ping. 1On May 4th, 869, the hunter caught six "long-tailed monkeys" for David. After careful consideration, David named the "long-tailed monkey" as "upturned nose monkey".
