[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Golden snub nose monkeys. There are videos of them taking and eating oranges from people and it’s just so cute to watch them eat. [/quote]

Nice choice! What little characters!

Had to look them up - after seeing pictures of them, I was familiar with their singular and beautiful appearance through photos but not from seeing them in real life or zoos.

So sad they (and so many other animals) are endangered and face extinction.

For others who also can’t quite place them:

“The golden snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana) is an Old World monkey in the subfamily Colobinae. It is endemic to a small area in temperate, mountainous forests of central and Southwest China. They inhabit these mountainous forests of Southwestern China at elevations of 1,500–3,400 m (4,900–11,200 ft) above sea level. The Chinese name is Sichuan golden hair monkey (四川金丝猴). It is also widely referred to as the Sichuan snub-nosed monkey. Of the three species of snub-nosed monkeys in China, the golden snub-nosed monkey is the most widely distributed throughout China” (wiki)[/quote]
