Today I want to talk about
Golden monkey.
The golden monkey has a soft pelt,
a round head,
short ears and a tail
as long as
or longer than its body length.
A pair of bright and beautiful eyes
sparkles on its azure-blue face.
It has a small snub-nose and a sarcoma
at the corner of its mouth,
which becomes bigger and harder
with time.
Its long tresses resemble shiny,
gold wool.
The golden monkey has a diet
that consists primarily of
young bamboo leaves, bamboo shoots,
fruits,invertebrates,
flowers, and shrubs.
Due to its diet the golden monkey
prefers a habitat with abundant fruit and bamboo.
Golden monkey is a first class
national level protected animal
in China.
For a long time the killing is one of the main threat
to the endangered golden monkey.
According to the uncompleted
statistics,
there are only 300 more
golden monkeys left.
At the same time ,
deforestation thoroughly
destroyed golden monkey's
habitat.
Narrow distribution will eventually
lead to the extinction of
golden monkey.
Let's do something to prevent
the extinction of golden monkey.
We can protect the environment
by reducing , reusing and recycling.
We can build reserves and
help golden monkey to
have more babies.
To protect animals is
to protect ourselves!
Let's live in harmony with animals,
share a common living place with them.
When the buying stops,
the killing can too.
