Black bush-tailed monkey born in Guangdong

A black bush-tailed monkey was recently born in a forest park in Qingyuan, Guangdong province, marking a significant advancement in China's conservation and breeding efforts for critically endangered species.

Under the care of the conservation team at Chimelong Forest Kingdom in Qingyuan, the infant monkey is in good health and is consuming 6 milliliters of milk powder per feeding, according to the forest park.

The monkey is one of the most endangered primate species in the world, classified as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Due to habitat destruction and illegal hunting, there are currently less than 250 black bush-tailed monkeys in the world.
