The golden monkey, as its name suggests, is a monkey with long, silky, fine, soft golden hair that shines brightly in the sunlight.


The golden snub-nosed monkey is one of the most beautiful in the monkey world, and its golden hair alone is glorious.


With their thick lips, short tails, rounded mouths and skyward noses, their faces fluoresce in a pale blue and their sparkling sapphire eyes are particularly attractive and appealing.


The golden snub-nosed monkey is mainly found at the top of the canopy of tall trees, with agile limbs and agile hands.


The moment the branches swing back, its tail, which is as long as its body, swings gently to control its balance.


Their movements are as graceful and light as golden elves looming in the green shadows of the forest.


Golden snub-nosed monkeys mostly live in mixed coniferous forests at high altitudes of 2,000-3,000 metres and live in groups, feeding on wild fruits, shoots and leaves.


Golden monkeys also enjoy eating birds' eggs and other meat.


Its habitat is high in altitude and cold, and the long hair on its body can withstand the cold.


When golden monkeys have regular contact with people, they can be particularly docile, the result of people spending a long time with the monkeys and building up a sense of trust.


If golden monkeys have had little to no human contact, they will be very timid and cautious, running at the sight of people and hiding when they hear the slightest movement.


Golden snub-nosed monkeys are by nature rather timid, but are particularly docile and not as aggressive towards people as other monkeys.


Young golden monkeys in the colony are sheltered by their parents when they are young, but the males are usually driven out of the colony when they reach about three years of age, and the females are driven out of their families by their mothers when they reach six or seven years of age.


The male monkeys that are driven out of the colony either go to a daughter-in-law and return to form a family, or they stay in the single colony and live together.


These are the rules of nature and facilitate the reproduction of the monkeys.


There are still many differences between monkeys and other pets.


Monkeys are primates and there can be inter-transmission of deadly germs between them and humans.


Unlike dogs and cats, monkeys have been domesticated by humans over thousands of years and have become docile and suitable for domestication.


Monkeys have an innate wild animal aspect to them and it is not responsible for the safety of the family to keep them at home, it is also powerfully destructive to the monkey's nature.


Unlike cats or dogs, monkeys will live well as long as they have the attention and love of their owners.


Instead, monkeys need normal conditions, food and space in the wild, and the environment in which they are placed at home is simply not suitable for monkeys.


A normal Japanese macaque is said to live in a group of 40 companions, move around in 3.7 square kilometres of forest and walk an average of 1-2 kilometres a day.


They have a complex social network of siblings and lovers and confidants.


They spend 10-15% of their day grooming each other - not just to clean their bodies, but as a means of social bonding.


This is something that no family can possibly provide.
