Meet the Golden Monkey!

Gee's golden langur is a special monkey with fur that shines like gold! It has a black face and a super long tail, sometimes as long as a grown-up is tall! These monkeys love to swing and play high up in the trees, where they feel safe. They are like little acrobats of the forest, always on the move.

Where Do They Live?

These golden monkeys live in a small part of India and in the mountains of Bhutan. They call the tall trees their home, living in a place called the Himalayas. It's a beautiful but special home that they share with other animals. They like to stay up high, far away from the ground.

What's for Lunch?

Gee's golden langurs are picky eaters! They love to munch on leaves, fruits, seeds, and yummy flower buds. They are herbivores, which means they only eat plants. They spend their days searching for the tastiest leaves and the juiciest fruits in their forest home. It's like a never-ending buffet for them!

A Special Family

These monkeys live in small families, usually with a few lady monkeys and just one daddy monkey. They like to stick together for safety. Sadly, there aren't many Gee's golden langurs left in the world, making them very important to protect. We need to make sure their golden fur continues to shine for a long, long time!
