There’s a good reason why you likely have never seen the black snub-nosed monkey before – it was only discovered in the 1990s! Found in the wilds of the China’s Yunnan province, the species has a unique diet in that it eats lichens that are toxic for most animals. The black snub-nosed monkey can eat these organisms, thanks to unique enzymes in its digestive system. . . . . . . . #lichen #rareanimals #endangeredspecies #blacksnubnosedmonkey #animalsfromchina #newspecies #animalplanet #animals #pictureoftheday
