Animals that live in the mountains have longer, thicker fur than animals from the lowlands to protect them against the cold.
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]
