Gray langur
The Gray langur, also known as the Hanuman langur, is a species of primate found primarily in the Indian subcontinent. They are characterized by their long limbs, grayish fur, and distinctive black face. These monkeys are highly social and live in groups called troops, which can consist of several individuals. Their diet mainly consists of leaves, fruits, and flowers, making them primarily herbivorous.
Gray langurs are known for their adaptability to various habitats, including forests, grasslands, and urban areas. They play a crucial role in their ecosystem by aiding in seed dispersal. Additionally, they are often seen in close proximity to humans, which can lead to both positive interactions and conflicts, especially in areas where food is scarce.
