The Hanuman langur is a species of monkey found primarily in the Indian subcontinent. They are known for their long limbs, grayish fur, and distinctive black faces. These primates are social animals, often seen in groups, and they primarily inhabit forests, grasslands, and urban areas. Their diet mainly consists of leaves, fruits, and flowers. Named after the Hindu deity Hanuman, the langurs play a significant role in their ecosystems by aiding in seed dispersal. They are also known for their vocalizations, which include a variety of calls used for communication within their groups. Conservation efforts are important for their survival due to habitat loss and human encroachment.
