Nature is a great joker and master when it comes to choosing colors to decorate her creations. Looking at the cute sad face of the golden snub-nosed monkeys, it is difficult to imagine that there is much more black comedy than drama hidden behind it.





Non-standard is not only about appearance. These creatures also chose an unusual place of residence - they climbed all the way into the Chinese subtropics to an altitude of more than 3 kilometers. And the violence of the elements, which sweeps up snowdrifts in winter, does not bother the heat-loving monkeys.



And the furry creatures really have a moon-like appearance: a bluish-white muzzle, as if illuminated by moonlight, surrounded by bright fluffy fur. It’s like the sun’s rays frame this tragic noir splendor.





And the golden weirdos have an unusual nose - tiny, reminiscent of slits in the skull of cartoon characters. And with each passing year, the respiratory organ becomes smaller and smaller. But this is not a whim, but an adaptive characteristic that ensures survival. Such a snub nose is difficult to freeze. After all, those same nose-nosed dogs would have had a really hard time in the cold.



The monkeys' bodies are covered with a thick and very fluffy coat, which saves them in the cold. And when the nights turn out to be very harsh, the animals gather in groups, hide the baby inside the circle, hug each other closely and sleep until the morning.



Monkeys are also interested in the issue of courtship and competition for the attention of ladies. The unspoken struggle for leadership and, accordingly, the favor of females in the pack goes on continuously. But it is literally unspoken, since the males do not grapple in battle, do not scream or beat each other up. They use psychological intimidation tactics: they sit opposite each other and make scary faces, piercing their opponent with a piercing gaze. Whoever is scared is

fool

lost.



And the harem becomes the sole use of the Sultan. Well, as if alone. That's what he thinks. And since he cannot bless all the females with his attention to the required degree, they calmly go outside for carnal pleasures and find them in the arms of young males. In due time, delighting the owner with offspring. The alpha sincerely considers all children his own.



The strength of these fiery-furred creatures lies in unity. They not only work together to raise their offspring and keep each other warm on frosty nights. The animals, whose weight ranges from 10 to 15 kilograms, unite in the face of a common enemy and can easily cope with a bird of prey or a large feline predator. Here, not only acting talents are used, but also fangs.



True, these techniques do not work for insatiable people who really need wood. And the golden snub-nosed monkeys, which are on the verge of extinction, have a total of no more than 15 thousand left due to deforestation.
