Sichuan golden monkey, a "national treasure" animal, "immigrated" to Chongqing for the first time.

  Zhongxin. com, Chongqing, January 26 (Reporter Han Lu) On the 26th, three Sichuan golden monkeys from Chengdu officially met with tourists at Chongqing Zoo. It is reported that this is also the first time that Sichuan golden monkey has settled in Chongqing.

  Sichuan golden monkey is mainly distributed in Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu and Hubei. It is a typical forest arboreal animal. It lives in alpine forests at an altitude of 1,500-3,300 meters all the year round and lives in groups as a family. It is worth mentioning that Sichuan golden monkey is a unique and precious animal in China, listed in CITES Appendix I and IUCN Endangered Protection List, and is a national first-class protected animal. According to the introduction of Chongqing Zoo, a family of three Sichuan golden monkeys who immigrated to Chongqing from Chengdu, Cheng Cheng, Yu Yu and Ding Ding, were introduced to Chongqing Zoo for the first time, filling the gap of no golden monkeys in the park.

  The reporter saw in the zoo that the newly-built Golden Monkey Hall has pavilions, swings, slides, tires, rings and ropes for climbing. After nearly two weeks of adaptation, a family of three who immigrated from Chengdu to Chongqing showed their satisfaction with their new home in Chongqing.

  The 12-year-old "monkey father" Cheng Cheng can be seen as the "head of the family" from his body shape. An adult has a blue face and a distinctive nose facing the sky. The 8-year-old "monkey mother" Yuyu is slightly smaller and quieter, just sitting and eating leaves. The most naughty in the yard is their "son" Ding Ding. Tintin, who has a lively temper, keeps jumping up and down. Because he is only half a year old, Tintin has not yet grown into such golden hair. Tintin, with a light yellow hair, was also called "yellow-haired boy" by the breeder.

  According to Tang Jiagui, the relevant person in charge of the Animal Management Department of Chongqing Zoo, because there is little difference between Chengdu and Chongqing, the Sichuan Golden Monkey family is still quite adapted to the living environment in Chongqing. Tang Jiagui said that at present, there are 12 giant pandas in Chongqing Zoo, and it is the only zoo in China with both golden cats and clouded leopards. However, the Sichuan golden monkey, which belongs to the "national treasure class" with the giant panda, has settled in Chongqing Zoo for the first time. "We also hope that this family of three can live and work in Chongqing and thrive."
