Golden Monkeys

 Out of all the primates that are on the brink of extinction it is sad to note that even the Golden Monkey is one of the most endangered species in the whole world. The species has reddish-brown fur that is almost black at the edges of its ears, nose, and fingertips. Further to this, the Golden monkey is a good swimmer and therefore this places it among the few surviving and nonaquatic primates that can swim. However, every third person knows about the golden monkey which is one of the favorite destinations of tourists in Rwanda. This is peculiar to these monkeys unlike all the other monkeys because they only share it with one other species. The second species that you are going to learn is the Barbary Macaque as well!

The Crested Porcupine

 It is also the native place of the crested porcupine Though the porcupine is not found in this country it is yet a different species from the crested one. This can be described as a mammalian rodent bearing spines on its body as well as on its head similar to that of the hedgehog. The following are some of the outstanding traits that define it as a funny friendly animal; The animal has “famous quills” that it uses to shoot from its back whenever it perceives danger. It is in fact one of the only few animals in the world that prepares itself with four stomachs, the highest furniture is where raw meat, bones, and horns keep partially digested food which is ready to be absorbed again into the bloodstream.

The Chimpanzee

Chimpanzee is another form of Ape that can only survive in the tropical regions of sub-Saharan Africa. They are definitely talented and intelligent as they can be trained to a higher level and they can even sign language! Such ape populations librarians have put at not more than 300,000 chimps in the wild, yet these are also experiencing a dramatic reduction in space as well as increased rates of Illegal hunting by poachers for their meat!

 This is quite evident from the aspect of revolutions of animal life here as well; either in shape or size! It is just a small part of the very diverse history of the country and we saw only very little parts of this history.
