Golden Monkey in Hubei mainly dwells in Shennongjia Nature Reserve, central China’s Hubei Province.

Golden Monkey belongs to the Cercopithecidae family of Primates order. Its scientific name is Pygathrix roxellanae (Latin), or Chinese snub-nosed monkey, or golden monkey (English).

The body length of the male is 52 to 78 centimeters and the length of the tail is 57 to 80 centimeters, weighing about 17 kilograms. The female is smaller and weighs about 8 kilograms. Inhabiting in mixed broadleaf-conifer forests and coniferous forests at an elevation of 1,500 to 3,500 meters, it dwells on trees, seldom going down to the ground.

It moves in daytime, usually in groups of as many as 100 to 200 heads, or 20 to 30 heads. Its food scope is wide, feeding on young leaves, plumules and inflorescence. Under breeding condition, it has a lifespan of 20 to 25 years.

Golden Monkey is endemic to China with a small quantity, mainly distributed in Sichuan, Gansu, Shaanxi provinces and Shennongjia mountainous area of Hubei Province. It has been listed in Appendix I of International Trade Convention on Endangered Wild Animal and Plant Species.
