The black-and-white snub-nosed monkey[1], also called the Yunnan snub-nosed monkey, is a large black-and-white primate living only in Yunnan Province in southern China, where it is known to the local population as the Yunnan golden-haired monkey.
- Males weigh between 15 and 17 kg, females between 6.5 and 10 kg.
- They share characteristics with other snub-nosed monkeys, concave nostrils and thick lips.
- However, these monkeys are the only black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys with long hair.
- Males have distinctive crowns of dark hair that hang forward and form a crest about 97 to 120 mm (3.7 to 4.7 in) long.
- Their faces are white with pink lips and black noses. The fur on the arms, back, and lower legs are black, with white tufts on the elbows.
- A whitish-gray fur covers its cheeks to the ventral side and covers the abdomen, neck, and thighs.
