This is a world of the rarely seen, from the yeti-like golden snub-nosed monkey in the mountain forests of China to the most bizarre predator in the baking Lut desert in Iran, the spider-tailed horned viper, which camouflages itself against the rocks, then tricks migrating birds into going after its specialised tail.
The gray snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus brelichi), [1] also known as Brelich's snub-nosed monkey, Guizhou snub-nosed monkey, and Guizhou golden monkey, [4] is a species of primate in the family Cercopithecidae.
