Question

Wild animals are our friends，but many of them are getting fewer and fewer．We should try to protect them．The four animals below are now in danger．

Golden Monkeys

Golden monkeys are mainly found in Sichuan，Gansu，Shanxi province and Shennongjia mountainous area of Hubei Province．Golden monkeys have golden—orange fur．They move around in the daytime，usually in groups of as many as l00 to 200 heads，or 20 to 30 heads．They feed on fruits and young leaves of bamboos．But people are destroying the environment where they live．Trees and bamboos are disappearin9，so golden monkeys have less and less to eat．
