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.

黑叶猴毛发只能是黑色的吗?非也。幼崽半岁前是“金毛”!2月11日,在广州长隆野生动物世界,十多组亲子家庭参与一场趣味盎然的科普活动:最潮“黑金”天然无柒——黑叶猴的毛发变色记录活动。黑叶猴幼崽“三年”与游客见面。科普老师为孩子们讲解黑叶猴的生活习性,“刚出生的黑叶猴幼仔除了个别部位,基本上均呈金黄色。1个月后会开始逐渐变灰,6个月左右会完全变成黑色,成为一只‘名副其实’的黑叶猴。”
