The black snub-nosed monkey is also known as the Yunnan snub-nosed monkey, is a large black and white primate that lives only in the southern Chinese province of Yunnan.

It also has a special name to the locals as the Yunnan golden hair monkey. With their unique adaptations to their environment, these monkeys thrive at extreme altitudes despite the below freezing temperatures and thin air. Coniferous and deciduous forests in the mountainous regions of Yunnan are the ideal terrain for these primates. This primate's diet is mainly made up of the large amounts of lichen available in their region. 

The black snub-nosed monkey has a highly restricted distribution in the bio-diverse Nujiang Langcang alpine canyon of Yun Range which is part of the greater hengduan mountains.
