Short-tailed monkeys are common in Huangshan (yellow Mountain). They are noisy and fearless and would come out from pine trees to nag for food from tourists. This image was taken at Bright Top (光明頂) of Huangshan after viewing sunrise.

 

黃山短尾猴(學名:Macaca speciosa subsp)是藏酋猴的亞種之一,屬靈長類動物,是猴科中較大的一種。四肢粗壯,體態高大,肌肉豐滿,兩眼炯炯有神。成年猴一般體重15公斤左右,最大者達34公斤。它們蓄著山羊胡,長眉短尾,面大腮圓,身披深褐色長毛,色彩純正,有似金絲,故又稱金絲猴。又因其尾短不過6cm,好像被人用刀砍斷了似的,名短尾猴、斷尾猴。黃山短尾猴是中國獨有的一種猴類,分佈於中國黃山風景區。
