Gray snub-nosed monkey

The gray snub-nosed monkey, Rhinopithecus brelichi, also known as Brelich's snub-nosed monkey, the Guizhou snub-nosed monkey or the Guizhou golden monkey, is a primate of the family Cercopithecidae endemic to China. Of the three snub-nosed monkey species in China it is the most threatened, with a total population thought to number fewer than 400, and its confirmed range is limited to Fanjingshan National Nature Reserve in the Wuling Mountains of Guizhou province; habitat loss threatens it. Adults have long fine hair grading from brown above to gray below with a white patch between the shoulder blades, a black head, neck and limb ends with a golden brow, a golden chest, and a bare bluish-white face with a shelf-like brow and reduced nasal bones. Two adult males weighed 14.5 kg on average and one adult female 8 kg. It lives in mixed deciduous and evergreen broadleaf forest, not coniferous forest.
