Zoo's exotic new attraction: Golden monkeys, now regarded as valuable relics at Beauval Zoo

Cue excitement on Wednesday, May 7th at the Beauval Zoo, Loir-et-Cher, as visitors eagerly waited to catch a glimpse of the newly arrived golden monkeys. These creatures are a treat for the eyes with their long, red fur and slightly blue faces. Three of 'em made their way to the zoo: a dapper male and two stunning females. Their chameleon-like expressions are eerily human-like, and they're total attention magnets.

Fun fact: These monkeys are considered a national treasure in China and are endangered. Part of a conservation program, they were loaned to France and were treated like VIPs during their flight on April 3rd, with an entourage you'd usually see with a head of state.

Cyrielle Lambert from the Beauval Zoo vouched for their quick adaptation, stating, "Considering the journey they've made, they took three days to settle in nicely. Everything went swimmingly."

So there you have it! A mega win for wildlife conservation and an amazing opportunity for visitors to bask in the glory of these exotic creatures. Go check 'em out!

P.S. The first institution outside Asia to host the rare and endangered golden snub-nosed monkeys, these loaned specimens have been successfully acclimating to their new environment at Beauval Zoo. If you're eager for more deets on their health, check-up, and quarantine, feel free to dive deeper into the world of these endangered beings. Your interest only fuels their survival efforts[1][2].
