Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys, with their iconic crimson lips, are highland stars living on Baima Snow Mountain in southwest China's Yunnan Province. The monkey tribe on the mountain welcomed eight newborns this year. With their small population and low birth rate, it's vital for Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys to take utmost care of their young. To help her offspring adapt to the challenging surroundings, a young mother will, for several months after giving birth, keep her young at her side and teach them survival skills.
