Stryker's Snub-nosed Monkey

Stryker's snub-nosed monkey is a dark-furred primate with a pale face, prominent lips and an extremely reduced upturned nose. A long tail assists balance in trees. The species was described in 2010 from northern Myanmar and was subsequently documented in adjoining Yunnan, China. (Peer-reviewed species account; Wikipedia, general species account)

It inhabits high-elevation temperate and montane forest and travels in social groups. Leaves, buds, fruit, bark and lichens are eaten, with seasonal shifts reflecting availability. The upturned nostrils are reported to admit rain, prompting animals to sit with their heads lowered during heavy showers. (Wikipedia, general species account)
