This is the golden snub-nosed monkey.
At first glance, their tiny upward nose looks unusual.
But scientists believe that shape may actually help in cold mountain air.
These monkeys live in snowy forests in China, where temperatures can drop far below freezing.
A smaller nose means less exposed surface, which may reduce the risk [music] of frostbite.
