【大美广东】A golden baby Francois' leaf monkey meets Guangzhou citizens

金毛黑叶猴幼仔“三年”与广州市民见面，机灵活泼惹人爱

Can Francois' leaf monkeys have only black hair? Certainly not. The cubs of the incredibly rare monkeys are"golden" until they are half a year old!

On February 11, at Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park, more than ten groups of parents and children participated in an interesting popular science event: recording the hair discoloration of the littleFrancois' leaf monkey. During the event, a golden cub named "Three Years" met the participants.

The popular science teacher introduced the living habits ofFrancois' leaf monkeys to the children. The newborn Francois' leaf monkeys are golden except for a few parts of their body. After a month, their hair gradually turns gray, and then after around six months, it will turn completely black, becoming a true blackFrancois' leaf monkey.
