Golden monkeys live in high mountains and forests, mainly in trees, 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.
living environment
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, major clusters take small family clusters as activity units;
Reproductive characteristics
Every autumn is the estrus of golden monkeys, and the sexual maturity of female monkeys is earlier than that of male monkeys. The female monkeys are about 4-5 years old, and the male monkeys are 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.
