This adorable monkey can always tell you when it rains. The snub-nosed money was found in Myanmar in 2010. Local villagers say the monkeys start sneezing when it rains. Scientists say it has a very strange-shaped nose which doesn't offer very much protection from the rain. The creatures have been found sitting with their head between their legs when it starts to drizzle to avoid the problem. But, its sneezes are so distinct that it's been named the Sneezing Monkey.
