A golden monkey eats pine-cones.

Golden monkeys are rare and obscure, and they’re just beginning to be studied. They are highly endangered, so it’s a race to study them before they disappear. Living in the mountains of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan Provinces, Chinese golden monkeys are seeing their habitats disappear rapidly as the countryside is cleared for more pastures, villages, and roads.

The monkeys are killed for their beautiful fire-orange fur and also their bones, which are believed by Asians to hold special medicinal powers.
