Snub Nosed

Quite awhile ago, we watched a PBS show on the Himalayan Snub Nosed Monkeys. It is so cold where they live, no other monkey could survive. They don't really have a nose because if they did,  it would likely freeze off. I took all these pictures from the T.V.









They stay warm by huddling together.



On my next post, I will show you the extraordinary area where they live.

Well I'm certainly glad that I'm not a snub nosed monkey. I wouldn't survive in a place that was so cold my nose would freeze off.
