Widower golden monkey looks for wife nationwide
The staff of an East China animal park are searching nationwide for a new mate for their widowed male Sichuan golden monkey. Sources from Qianjiang Evening News said that the Hangzhou Wide Animal World in east China's Zhejiang province recently announced that their monkey has been "depressed" ever since its mate died of blood poisoning in 2003. The park staff said that they visited several zoos in the neighboring provinces, but could not find a suitable four-year-old female monkey of the same species. Unique to China, the golden monkey, or Rhinopithecus roxellanae, is under top state protection in China. There are currently three species of golden monkeys in southwest China's Guizhou, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces. According to recent surveys, China currently has only 10,000-15,000 Sichuan golden monkeys living in wild.
