Hey Monkeys,
Have you heard about Monkey Fact Monday? It is every Monday where Calypso (or other awesome monkeys) add some awesome facts about monkeys to the Go Bananas Blog, well today Calyspo was chatting with her awesome friend Viper, who stumbled upon an article from November 2010, talking about a new species of monkeys! Let's hear more!!
This type of monkey was found in Burma (or Myanmar) so they named it the Burmese snub-nosed monkey! A strange fact about these monkeys are when it rains, or they get wet, they huddle together as a group, put their heads between their legs... and just sneeze! Wow, that's strange, but cool!
Sadly, even though they have JUST been discovered, their population is way too low, and they are highly endangered! Oh No!
This picture above is NOT a Burmese snub-nosed monkey, but it is the cousin of them... The Golden Snub-Nosed monkey! Many researchers have seen these monkeys and inferred their actions, none have pictures of them!
Here is an artist's portrait of their prediction of how they look like:
These monkeys are truly amazing, and I hope they can fully recover them so they do not become endangered, that would be terrible, right? Let's hope for the best! Calypso will keep us updated on these monkeys!
Best Bananas,
