The Golden Snub-nosed Monkey is a Chinese monkey and can be also referred as the Golden Monkey. The Golden Snub-nosed Monkey is endemic to a small area in temperate, mountainous forests of central and south-western China. Snow occurs frequently within its range and it can withstand colder average temperatures than any other non-human primates. The Golden Snub-nosed Monkey keeps itself warm with a coat of beautiful golden fur. They live in family groups of one male and numerous females. The family groups band together with others, forming troops of 20 to 30 individuals in the winter and up to 200 individuals in the summer.

"Inhabiting five of the continents of the world, Otters are truly amazing mammals. Otters are unique in many ways. For instance, Otters are the only marine mammals to have fur instead of blubber. There are thirteen species of otters alive today. Otters are very smart; they are one of only a handful of tool using mammals. Sea Otters use rocks to pry abalone off rocks and to break open shells."
