Chinese mothers donated their breast milk
to save an abandoned baby Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey.
The story is over 2 years old and I can't find an update, so I don't know how the monkey is doing now, but I hope it is well. This article links to a Quicktime video of more golden monkeys, including a baby. Here's more info on the Guizhou and Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys.

By "over 2 years old" I meant "almost two years old," of course.

Baby monkeys! Who can't love a baby monkey? Just look at that tiny furry face. And yet to me, more entertaining still is the "Most Popular" sidebar in the hosting side, the English-language (and so presumably for foreign consumption) People's Daily Online: China ready to start its nuclear power plan Chen Shui-bian's means of amassing fortune exposed UN report: China becoming major investor abroad Shanghai high-ranking posts offered to foreigners How does US$130 billion make sense?

Who can't love a baby monkey? Only someone with no love in their heart, imo. I really like these golden monkeys, but their fur which is so attractive is also the main reason they're hunted. I hope the Chinese government is able to save the species. There are golden monkeys in Tibet too.

I thought maybe I could find a Chinese brush painting of this monkey, but haven't yet. In the meanime, I did find their tea :One bud and one leaf has to be really elegant stuff. And,for those of you who have followed through my previous disasterous attempts to give good link, I'm doing a little dance in the end zone.
