Interesting wildlife photography

On May 16, a monkey in a wild zoo in Zhejiang was hit by a hot search list because of his square face. Many netizens want to know how there are such fat monkeys. "It seems to be a friend with a beard." "It is not easy for the staff to dress up, is it?" Some people also doubt whether the crazy video has applied the face-changing technology to monkeys, and there have been many comments on the Internet for a time.

On the afternoon of June 16, a TV reporter learned from Shaoxing Huju Zoo that the monkey in the video of cyber explosion happened to be the black-capped monkey introduced by the park in June 20 18. "There are three monkeys like that in the garden, but only this face is the most square. This is more like a person who looks different and grows up like that as an adult. " Master Jiang, an animal breeder, told the reporter that he was very surprised by the explosion of the black-capped monkey.

The red-hot square face "Monkey Brother" comes from a video of tourists sunbathing on a short video service platform. In the video, "Monkey Brother" is sitting on the tire swing, watching the tourists puzzled. Qi Mei's staying in the sea, beard and square face make people unable to connect with the usual monkey brand image for a while. "This kind of monkey is called a black hat hanging monkey because the hair on its head looks like a black hat. Key species are scattered in South America. " Master Jiang, an animal breeder who has been taking care of it, told TV reporters that the black-capped monkey is a rare animal. When 20 18 was introduced into the wildlife park, it went through many strict technical professional approvals.

Master Jiang lived with the square-faced "Monkey Brother" for more than four years, and watched it form its own home from a little monkey to now. "It has a daughter-in-law and a child, but the faces of the little monkey and the mother monkey are not square." In Master Jiang's memory, the square-faced "Monkey Brother" had a long and pointed chin like other monkeys when he was a child. "He became more and more square when he grew up, which is also a great performance of its perfection."

Fans are also very concerned about the square face of Monkey Brother, especially the beard. Many people think of the people around them. "That circle of beard is not ordinary hair, but a beard similar to a human beard." Master Jiang told TV reporters that with the popularity of the square-faced Monkey Brother on the Internet, more and more tourists visit the safari park, which has increased the popularity of parks directly affected by the COVID-19 epidemic.

"Because I was raised in a wildlife park since I was a child, I am not too afraid. I am just worried that some tourists will make uncivilized phenomena and scare the monkeys." Nowadays, with the increase of tourists, Master Jiang is also closely observing the reflection of the black-capped monkey. Master Jiang told reporters that the square-faced "Monkey Brother" is similar in appearance and personal behavior. For example, they will simply use some special tools to eat dried fruit ingredients and take care of their babies on their backs.

Chen, the author of Natural History magazine and co-author of Hongshan Zoo, told TV reporters that the Chinese name of this online celebrity monkey is the black hat hanging monkey, or more formally, the white hat hacker capuchin monkey, which is very common in South China. It is very likely that this one looks different, so it has attracted the attention of netizens in the book.

Chen said that the black-crowned hanging monkey belongs to the primate Capuchidae. There are 12 species of monkeys in this genus. The great advantage is that the small tail is flexible and good at winding, among which the monkey hanging on the black top is a more common one. Because they have a bunch of black hair on their heads, much like the sun hats worn by European medieval priests, they got the meaning of this name.

Black-capped hanging monkeys are mainly produced in North Brazil in South America, and also distributed in Guyana, French Guiana, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia and other countries. They are relatively highly market-oriented dogs in the new world, and usually live in a large group of 20-30 dogs. They feed on fresh fruits, seeds, fallen leaves, young leaves and pests.

The black-headed monkey is listed in Annex II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, and the situation is "no danger", but its import and export trade will be controlled to prevent it from being used in a way incompatible with its survival.

The TV reporter realized that the newly-built Gondwana Pavilion in Hongshan Forest Zoo will be open to the public, and it is possible to introduce monkeys wearing black hats. At that time, you can also see this kind of monkey wearing a "white hat" in Nanjing.
