An endangered species of doucs (primates) found in the mountainous regions between Cambodia and Vietnam called the Annamite Range. These doucs have a unique bluish face with yellow rings around their eyes, as well as a tail as long as their entire body. They are threatened by illegal poaching for traditional medicine and habitat loss due to illegal logging and conversion of land to agriculture.
