Living habits

food

Golden monkeys live in high mountains and dense forests. Mainly living in trees, but also looking for something to eat on the ground. Feed on wild fruits, buds, bamboo shoots and bryophytes. The staple food is leaves, shoots, flowers and fruits, as well as bark and roots. I like insects, birds and eggs.

Social life

Golden monkeys have a typical family life style, and members take care of each other, feed together and play together. In the golden monkey's home, the underage little golden monkey is very curious, naughty and loved by his parents. But when he grows up, the little male monkey will be driven out of the house by his father and can only live independently in the wild.

Growth and reproduction

Every autumn is the estrus of golden monkeys, and the sexual maturity of female monkeys is earlier than that of male monkeys. The female monkeys are about 4 to 5 years old, and the male monkeys are about 7 years later. Mating occurs all year round, but the peak of mating is in August 8- 10/0 month, and the pregnancy is about 6 months, more than 3-4 months, and some of them give birth in February or May. The pregnant period of female monkeys is about 6 months, usually one child and occasionally two children. The newborn monkey's face is dark blue, its fur is brown, and it cries like a baby. Weighing more than one kilogram after one month. In adult monkeys, the male-female ratio is about 1:2.

With the increase of habitat altitude, the estrus of different species of golden monkeys will be delayed.
