The black snub-nosed monkey, known as the Yunnan snub-nosed monkey, lives in a narrow corridor stretching from Mangkang county in Southwest China s Tibet Autonomous Region to Yunlong county, Southwest China s Yunnan Province. It has a distinctive upturned nose, a pair of big eyes, black fur and pink lips. On China s list of national first-level protected wild animals, it is hard to spot it given that its habitat is composed of lush valleys at a height of 3,000 meters above sea level.
