Rare primate species put under the microscope

Safari park looks to become global center for genetic research

A wildlife park in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, is positioning itself at the forefront of primate gene research after successfully helping to raise dozens of the rarely-seen animals.

Chimelong Safari Park is now home to more than 60 primate species, from African chimpanzees and black-and-white colobuses to China's own golden snub-nosed monkeys.
