  • In the mystical mountaintops of southwest China's Shangri-La, we meet one of China's most treasured endangered species, the Yunnan snub-nosed monkey!
    Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys are truly special - but because of their low numbers and high-altitude habitat in the remote peaks of Yunnan Province, they're still something of an enigma. During our visit, we meet and follow local forest rangers who have devoted their lives to the monkeys’ welfare, as well as scientists and conservationists who are actively working to raise awareness for the species. We'll hear their stories about these fascinating animals and learn more about ongoing efforts to bring the monkeys' numbers back up.
    This episode, "An Encounter with China's Endangered Monkeys," originally aired on the TV show Travelogue.

    They've long been my favourite animal. They're like my spirit animal, because they love to cuddle all day with each other :)

      Aww I love that too! They look so easy & soft to cuddle with, almost like your stuffed animals came to life!

    Megan! You are my new best friend! 😁
    Thank you for bringing this wonderful video to TH-cam for us to see!
    As long as I can remember, (I don't even remember the first time I laid eyes on a Snub Nose monkey, I just know I was a goner in love!), I have adored these beautiful and interesting monkeys. Their soft looking plush fur just looks so cozy! I long to touch one. But I would never if it meant endangering the monkeys further. I'll love and admire them from afar for their greater good.
    Their sweet, sweet voices... Gosh, can anything be funnier and more precious than a Snub nose monkey's voice? 🥰
    That they are endangered pains me, I hope there can be a resolution to their numbers dwindling. It would be a loss of huge proportions if they went extinct, in my opinion.
    So adorable, so sweet, so loveable!
    Long live the Snub Nose Monkey! 😍😍🥰🥰

    Thank you. I've only recently discovered snub nosed monkeys, as a long time macaque fan. It's great to see that they are being protected.

    It's good to see that people are realizing just how endangered snubbies are, and are willing to devote their lives to caring for them. China needs more people like Uncle Yu, before it's too late, and these monkeys are gone forever.

    This video just popped up on my feed……this has got to be the most excellent video of snubbed nosed monkeys…..thank you for making this documentary……these monkeys are so beautiful! I love how the young folks are so enthralled to learn about them! Uncle Yu is super fantastic and very caring…..hopefully he will train someone to take over his job if he could not do it anymore…..thank you so much for sharing these beautiful animals!

    THE TEMPERATURE IN THE WINTER GETS WELL BELOW MINUS ZERO DEGREES. THEY DON'T HAVE NOSES SO THEY WON'T GET FROSTBITE!!!

    • @BabyMonkeyDefender
      @BabyMonkeyDefender ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's a cute theory. Indeed could very well be why they evolved with no prominent nose. You're a thinker, I like that 😁

    It's a shame that we have so few stem nose monkeys in the wild all three of them are beautiful and with the display of their teeth makes me think what person would want to mess them over that's a pretty big display of teeth in those canines they are nothing to mess with

    As I know monkey is very common, as dogs, cats, rats, why this species become endangered

      They were hunted, and they lost their habitats. They also don't reproduce as rapidly as dogs, or rats. They have one baby every 2-3 years.
