  "Wuka" means danger, "Gugu" means ready to attack.


  Changjiang Business Daily reported on January 31 that "golden monkeys are the same age as dinosaurs, the same level as giant pandas, and perhaps the same ancestor as humans." Wang Haitao, secretary of the Party Committee of Shennongjia Forest Region, said that the research on the golden monkey in Shennongjia has made nine major achievements, and the language of the golden monkey has been partially deciphered. The reporter learned from Shennongjia yesterday that both the population and the number of endangered golden monkeys in our province have increased rapidly, and the protection research work has progressed smoothly, and some major scientific research achievements have been made.


  Zhu Zhaoquan, deputy stationmaster of the provincial wildlife protection station, said yesterday that golden monkeys live in dense forests all the year round, and their groups are huge, and their contact methods such as sight and expression are greatly limited, so sound signals have become their main means of communication. The researchers found that there are 18 different kinds of sounds in the vocal behavior of Sichuan golden monkey in Shennongjia. Among them, "Eh …" indicates that the golden monkey is in a quiet atmosphere, while "Wuka" indicates that it is in danger, "Wangwang" means that researchers have not yet grasped it clearly, and "Gugu" means that it is very dangerous to prepare for an attack.


  Liao Mingyao, director of Shennongjia National Nature Reserve Administration, also disclosed eight other achievements, such as finding out the social structure of Shennongjia golden monkey; Understand the feeding habits of Shennongjia golden monkey; Mastered the behavior of Shennongjia golden monkey. ; The reproductive law and daily activity law of Shennongjia golden monkey were discovered.
