I have finally seen them in the wild last winter and I cant believe how beautiful these golden monkeys are, their colors are even more unbelievably gorgeous up close, jsut cant believe how gorgeous and friendly these monkeys are.

This was the purest, most beautiful documentary of any animal I’ve ever seen. I literally cried at their kinship especially when the mom lost the poor baby that was so sad to see. They are really special creatures next to panda this has to be my new favorite creature. 🐒🐾🐾

That poor mother losing her baby made me cry. You could see the immense pain in her expression. Gorgeous and amazing animals.

They have such strong bonds and they look after each other so well, protecting the little ones from the coldest temperature, walking like humans in order not to freeze their hands. Very intelligent and empathic monkeys. What a lovely family 💖

China has some of the best scenery in the world; Even the Golden snub-monkeys are beautiful and the way they nurture and protect their young from extreme conditions and harm is amazing.

We need to protect all of these beautiful animals and the planet as a whole before it's too late... sometimes it feels like it's too late already, the planet is going through a lot...
