The upturned nose monkey Myanmar (Rhinopithecus strykeri) . They are at risk of extinction due to hunting for bones, furs, skulls, and brains for medicine.

Myanmar upturned nose macaque has a height of about 60cm and a longer tail than the body. They do not have a nose bridge but have very thick lips. Due to the lack of nasal bridge, the monkey's nostrils are pointing upwards, making rainwater very easy to penetrate and causing sneezing. Forests that Myanmar snub-nosed monkeys live up to 3,000m in height. On rainy days, they often face their knees so that water does not get into the nose. People see monkeys sneezing a lot when it rains.(Photo: PRCF)
