Overview:-
- The Tonkin snub-nosed monkeys are easily recognizable primates, exhibiting a rather unusual appearance. Their eyes are surrounded by faint, blue colored stripes. The ears are tufted, while the nose is flat and turned upward. They have a wide and flattened face with thick, pink lips. There is no information on life expectancy of this species. However, other colobine monkeys are known to live around 29 years in captivity and 20 years in the wild.
- The Tonkin snub-nosed monkeys are the largest primates, found in Vietnam. Meanwhile, this species is presently among the most endangered primates around the globe, which was thought to have gone extinct until 1989, when it was found again.
