Golden monkeys, whose fur is golden or grey, are a kind of lovely animal with their tail almost as long as their body.
Golden monkeys live mainly in the forests in China about 1,500 to 3,300 meters above the sea level. They like living in groups, mainly feeding on wild fruits, tree leaves and so on.
Now the number of golden monkeys is decreasing. Thus, the government has built some nature reserves to protect these animals. I'm appealing to people to stop hunting and trading golden monkeys, hoping more and more people to realize the importance of protecting animals and take action to do something meaningful.
Please protect us!
The end.
