The gray snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus brelichi),[1] also known as Brelich's snub-nosed monkey, Guizhou snub-nosed monkey, and Guizhou golden monkey,[4] is a species of primate in the family Cercopithecidae.[1][2] It is endemic to China,[1] where it is known as the Guizhou golden hair monkey (黔金丝猴) or gray golden hair monkey (灰金丝猴).[4] It is threatened by habitat loss.[2] Of the three species of snub-nosed monkeys in China, the gray snub-nosed monkey is the most threatened, with a total population thought to number fewer than 400 individuals.[5]
