As the king of anti-drug in the world, this monkey looks too explosive

Science Fiction Network reported on February 22 (Jin Kaiyi) I believe many people have a deep memory of the image of the "Faceless Man" in the movie "Spirited Away". In the animal kingdom, there is a strange-looking monkey that is very similar to the image of the Faceless Man. Netizens have speculated whether it may be the prototype of the "Faceless Man".

It is the white-faced saki monkey, also known as the "white-faced saki monkey", or the South American white-faced monkey or the white-faced saki monkey. It is a species of the genus Saki under the family Saki. They are all black except for their faces, which are divided into two halves by a large black nose in the middle. It is said that because it has no expression on its face, like an old monk who has seen through the world and is indifferent to everything, it is called the "white-faced saki monkey".

The white-faced stubby monkey is distributed in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, Venezuela and other places. It lives in lowland evergreen rainforests and mainly feeds on fruits, nuts and insects. The digestive system of the white-faced stubby monkey is very strong. Even if it accidentally eats poisonous fruits or is bitten by venomous animals such as venomous snakes, it will not be harmed at all. This special ability also earned them the nickname "the king of anti-venom".

The white-faced monkey is 33-35 cm long and weighs 0.7-2.5 kg. It lives almost all its life in trees, living in groups of 5-9. Although it is large, the white-faced monkey is nervous by nature and usually chooses to sleep in the tree canopy. It is also very flexible and can jump freely between branches ten meters apart. Therefore, it is also called "flying monkey" in the local area.

Although it is resistant to poison, the white-faced macaque has attracted great interest from tourists in zoos because of its unique appearance. Therefore, it is captured as a pet and traded in the market. It is also hunted by local indigenous people as a source of food. These factors threaten the survival and number of the white-faced macaque. At present, the white-faced macaque is classified as Least Concern in the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species and is listed as a protected animal in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).
