My Bio Assignment

Female Golden Snub Nosed monkey


Actually, the idea of doing an assignment about a monkey came from this one guy namely *** *** ****. He saw me the world's tiniest monkey some weeks ago. Then last week our BELOVED Biology teacher gave us an assignment. Without thinking twice, i gladly chose ONE-OF THE-ENDANGERED-MONKEY-SPECIES as my animal.

My pea brain only knows ORANG UTAN, which was one of the endangered monkeys but i don't want to do that cause it sounds LAME. So i browse through the IUCN redlist website, there's around 100+ of monkeys inside the red list. What the heck.

Then my friend gave me an idea. Try to find those endangered species that lives around us. And so i found this weird golden monkey. It's really weird because it has a SNUBBED NOSE.

The scientific name for it is Rhinopithecus. There are around 5 species named based on their hair colour i think. Nothing much about it anyway. except the fact that one of the sub-species, Myanmar Snub-Nosed Monkey which was found during October last year SNEEZES. Because when it rains the raindrops fall into the snubbed nose that's why it sneezes. =.=

I bloggged about it because just before i started doing my assignment this afternoon, i found out that the February's National Geographic has an article about it. Hey i never touched those National Geographic cause they are too LOSO~

However, the more i look into those snub-nosed monkeys, the cuter they are to me.. LOL!
