The habit of golden monkey

Golden monkey is a typical forest arboreal animal, which lives in the forest at an altitude of 1500 ~ 3300 meters all the year round. Their vegetation types and vertical distribution zones belong to four vegetation types: subtropical mountain evergreen, deciduous broad-leaved mixed forest, subtropical deciduous broad-leaved forest, evergreen coniferous forest and secondary coniferous mixed forest. With the change of seasons, they don't migrate horizontally, but only move vertically in their habitats.

In social life, all major clusters take small family clusters as their activity units. The largest group of primates can reach more than 600, and such a huge group is rare.
