They are largely gray in color, with a black face. The males are up to 75 cm long, and females 65 cm. With long strong limbs, the Hanuman Langur runs fast on the ground on all fours, and climbs well and is agile among trees with its long thin tail providing balance. They sleep at the ends of branches, where it's hard for a large predator to get at them. They have a life span of about 20 years but in captivity they can live for 25 years.
The Hanuman Langur feed on leaves, fruit, buds and flowers. Their diet is highly seasonable. At times, they also supplement their diet with insects, tree bark and gum. |
