The golden monkeys

Living only in China，golden monkeys are protected by the Chinese government.

Their fur is golden and a bit grey.Their tails are as long as their bodies.The male golden monkeys are big and strong while the female ones are much smaller.Golden monkeys live in forests which are 1，500－3，000 meters above the sea level.They like living in family groups.They feed on fruits，nuts，tree leaves and so on.

But now their number is getting smaller and smaller.We hope that people will stop hunting golden monkeys.
