Rangers in nature reserves encounter golden monkeys to "rob" and witness the "organization" ability of wild golden monkeys.

  Zhongxin. com, Xi ‘an, December 27th (Alina Cheng Hongfei, Qiong Cai) The reporter learned from the Longcaoping Forestry Bureau of Shaanxi Province on the 27th that the patrol personnel of Guanyinshan National Nature Reserve in Shaanxi Province recently came across the golden monkey "robbing" and witnessed the "organizing" ability of the wild golden monkey.

  On December 25th, the rangers of the nature reserve went to Muergou to carry out daily patrol work as planned. On the way, I suddenly met a golden monkey sitting in the middle of the road, and I didn’t avoid seeing the vehicle, so I "forcibly" stopped the patrol vehicle.

  The patrol team thought that the golden monkey was injured and asked for help, stopped to see the details, and handed a short section of the kang bun in the patrol belt to the golden monkey. Unexpectedly, after eating the steamed buns on the kang, the golden monkey immediately jumped on the front of the car and jumped on the alarm on the roof, making a loud "squeak" sound.

  A voice sounded, and seven golden monkeys jumped off the hillside quickly, turning around the car, echoing each other "squeaking" as if discussing something. Then, a golden monkey with the largest body and the brightest coat suddenly jumped in, got in through the window that had no time to close the glass, took all the kang kang buns brought by the patrolmen up the mountain, got out of the car, tore up the bag, shared food with the monkeys, and "swaggered" out of the scene.

  Seeing the process of being robbed by the golden monkey, the patrol members were both surprised and gratified. Xue Yanxing, a patrol member who loves photography, picked up his mobile phone and recorded these pictures.

  According to reports, in recent years, more and more wild animals have been encountered in Shaanxi patrol work, which is the result of years of continuous protection. People’s awareness of protection has increased, human disturbance has decreased, habitat quality has gradually recovered, and the number of wild animals has increased significantly.

  Shaanxi Guanyinshan National Nature Reserve is located in Foping County, the hinterland of Qinling Mountains. After more than ten years of protection, wild animals such as giant panda, golden monkey, antelope, forest musk deer, gazelle and impala are often seen in the reserve. At the same time, the protected area uses modern scientific and technological means such as video surveillance and infrared cameras to monitor the wild animals in the protected area in real time to obtain important data such as the species, quantity, distribution, activity law and habitat status of wild animals, and provide scientific basis for making targeted protection and management decisions in the protected area.
