The golden snub-nosed monkey [3] (Rhinopithecus roxellana) is an Old World monkey in the subfamily Colobinae. [3] It is endemic to a small area in temperate, mountainous forests of central and Southwest China. [4] They inhabit these mountainous forests of Southwestern China at elevations of 1,500–3,400 m (4,900–11,200 ft) above sea level. [5]
The golden [2] and black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys [3] are both endangered species, while the other three species are critically endangered. [4] [5] [6] Golden snub-nosed monkey communities with large populations have high genetic diversity, but also show higher levels of recent inbreeding than other snub-nosed monkeys. [7]
The Colobinae or leaf-eating monkeys are a subfamily of the Old World monkey family that includes 61 species in 11 genera, including the black-and-white colobus, the large-nosed proboscis monkey, and the gray langurs. Some classifications split the colobine monkeys into two tribes, while others split them into three groups.
