Black-and-White snub-nosed monkey

The black-and-white snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus bieti),[1][2] also known as the Yunnan snub-nosed monkey,[3] is a large black and white primate that lives only in the southern Chinese province of Yunnan,[4] where it is known to the locals as the Yunnan golden hair monkey (Chinese: 滇金丝猴) and the black-and-white snub-nosed monkey (黑白仰鼻猴).[5][6] The common name, black snub-nosed monkey, is issued to Rhinopithecus strykeri, inhabiting the Northern Sino-Myanmar border.[7] Coniferous and deciduous forests in the mountainous regions of Yunnan are the ideal terrain for these primates.[8] It is threatened by habitat loss, and is considered an endangered species. With their unique adaptations to their environment, these monkeys thrive at extreme altitudes despite the below freezing temperatures and thin air.[9] This primate's diet is mainly made up of the large amounts of lichens available in their region. The Yi Primate family is the National animal of Chinese state of Yunnan.[10][n 1].
History[edit]
The black-and-white snub-nosed monkey was almost completely unknown until the 1990s. The fact that no zoo outside of China has ever kept the black-and-white snub-nosed monkey in captivity has contributed to the enigmatic status of this species.
