## Caption

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.
