據(jù)合肥野生動(dòng)物園21日晚發(fā)布的消息，黑帽懸猴“大壯”突發(fā)疾病，經(jīng)全力搶救無(wú)效，于當(dāng)日下午離世。經(jīng)國(guó)內(nèi)多方獸醫(yī)專家來(lái)園會(huì)診，初步診斷死亡原因?yàn)樾姆喂δ芩ソ摺?/p>

Dazhuang, a male black-capped capuchin who became an internet sensation for his square face and quirky expressions, has died of cardiopulmonary failure despite intensive medical treatment, Hefei Wildlife Park announced on Wednesday evening. The diagnosis was confirmed after consultations with multiple veterinary experts.

21日早些時(shí)候，合肥野生動(dòng)物園曾通報(bào)，“大壯”因身體不適正在接受治療。

今年“五一”，合肥野生動(dòng)物園的黑帽懸猴“大壯”因一張方得出奇的國(guó)字臉和丑萌的表情突然破圈走紅，成為全國(guó)網(wǎng)友的手機(jī)新寵。有網(wǎng)友戲稱，“看著面熟，但想不起來(lái)像誰(shuí)。”

Dazhuang captured millions of hearts during this year's May Day holiday with his uniquely "ugly-cute" appearance. Social media users joked that his face looked oddly familiar, though no one could quite say who he resembled.

不過(guò)，5月21日，有網(wǎng)友在社交平臺(tái)發(fā)帖稱，前往合肥野生動(dòng)物園靈長(zhǎng)區(qū)沒(méi)見到“大壯”，只看到一張告示，稱“大壯”生病正接受治療，落款日期為5月21日。隨后，當(dāng)天中午，合肥野生動(dòng)物園官方微信號(hào)便發(fā)布消息證實(shí)“大壯”生病，但并未提及具體病情。

“以人類的眼光看‘大壯’，可能覺(jué)得它比較丑萌，但它的長(zhǎng)相在黑帽懸猴中屬于美男子?！焙戏室吧鷦?dòng)物園靈長(zhǎng)區(qū)保育員張春雪說(shuō)，黑帽懸猴中，臉越方、體型越大的地位越高，越有資格當(dāng)猴王。雄性黑帽懸猴的臉型會(huì)更方一點(diǎn)。

According to Zhang Chunxue, a caretaker in the primate zone, Dazhuang's square jaw — a mark of dominance among male black-capped capuchins — made him stand out. "In their world, a broader face and larger build signal higher status. Dazhuang was essentially a 'handsome gentleman' in his troop," she said.

“大壯”是合肥野生動(dòng)物園內(nèi)一只來(lái)自南美的黑帽懸猴。2015年，“大壯”和弟弟“小帥”一起“落戶”合肥。 2024年，“大壯”與雌性黑帽懸猴“小美”喜結(jié)連理，并生下一只活潑可愛(ài)的小黑帽懸猴。

Dazhuang arrived at the park in 2015 with his younger brother, Xiaoshuai. In 2024, he "married" a female capuchin named Xiaomei, and the couple later welcomed a playful baby monkey.

“‘大壯’的娛樂(lè)活動(dòng)比較豐富，喜歡攀爬、摘樹葉、翻草地、抓昆蟲等。它最喜歡吃的水果是橘子，也喜歡吃紅棗、葡萄干、核桃等小零食。”張春雪說(shuō)，黑帽懸猴彎彎的尾巴靈活有力，可以將自己懸掛于樹枝上，從而解放雙手用于取食或者做其他事。而它們也是為數(shù)不多的會(huì)使用工具的猴，會(huì)用石頭砸核桃。

黑帽懸猴生活在安第斯山脈東部的熱帶與亞熱帶森林里。下顎有力，可咀嚼大型水果、蔬菜、種子與各類動(dòng)物，上至青蛙、蜥蜴、鴿子與黃鼠狼，下至無(wú)脊椎動(dòng)物。它們?cè)谶M(jìn)食時(shí)會(huì)發(fā)出很大的響聲。黑帽懸猴喜歡霸占領(lǐng)地，為此會(huì)攻擊其他猴子。能通過(guò)嗅覺(jué)判定自己的領(lǐng)地，通常用尿液洗手，之后會(huì)用自己的毛發(fā)來(lái)擦拭雙手。

Native to tropical and subtropical forests east of the Andes, black-capped capuchins are omnivorous primates with powerful jaws capable of crushing large fruits, seeds, and even small animals like frogs and lizards. They often identify their own territory by scent and practice "urine washing" — rubbing urine on their hands and then grooming their fur.
