Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys Cubs

As spring breathes life into the nature, golden snub-nosed monkey families are venturing out with their 30 newborns at Zhouzhi National Nature Reserve in northwest China’s Shaanxi Province.Situated about 1,500 meters above sea level in a dense forest, these little monkeys, accompanied by their parents, are learning their first survival lessons.
Normally, autumn is the breeding season for the golden snub-nosed monkeys, and they give birth from March to May next year. According to footages recorded by monitors, about 205 golden snub-nosed monkeys from 12 families live here.
As of mid-April, around 30 healthy newborns have been observed, with five coming from a single family.Established in 1986 and upgraded to a national-level reserve in 1988, Zhouzhi National Nature Reserve is aimed at the conservation of golden snub-nosed monkeys. The current population of these monkeys has shown steady growth in recent years.
