Golden snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana)

During the winter, this highly social animal gathers in units of 20 to 30 individuals. When spring comes, it regroups to form larger troops of 200 or more. This species can be found in the mountains and forests of China, where snow cover can last for months. In fact, the golden snub-nosed monkey is known for tolerating the coldest average temperatures of any primate other than humans.
