Who’s the boss in golden snub-nosed monkey families? It’s the females who call the shots, running the show at every turn.
Males have more on their plate than just guarding the troop. They must win favor with grooming sessions and warm hugs to prove their devotion.
Slip up, and Mr Monkey faces a lonely bachelor life, cut adrift without the bonds that keep the group together.
From fierce matriarchs to devoted partners, these troops are a masterclass in social drama and the power of care. Nature never fails to surprise.
