        சுள்ளிய சாம்பல் குரங்கு |  TUFTED GRAY LANGUR   

            Tufted gray langurs are generally shy animals. They are partially arboreal, semi-terrestrial and diurnal in habit. They often come to the ground when there is no danger. Tufted gray langurs live in troops that may include 20-50 individuals. Large troops are led by both large male-female combinations, whereas small troops are governed by an alpha male. 

 Tufted gray langurs communicate with the help of barks, grunts, whoops, whistles and howls. The cough like voice is used for giving tension, and whistling for the contact loss with the troop. The superior eyesight of these animals and ability to sit atop high trees allows them to spot predators easily. They are fond of eating anything vegetarian. They mainly feed on leaves and also eat fruits and seeds. Tufted gray langurs are threatened by hunting and habitat destruction. Some people also fond of eating langur meat in some parts of Sri Lanka. Tufted gray langurs may also be captured for pets. 

The IUCN Red List and other sources don’t provide the number of the Tufted gray langur total population size. Currently, this species is classified as Near Threatened (NT) on the IUCN Red List and its numbers today are decreasing.

Hanging out with these fruit bats. They were fun to watercolour! Wanted to leave them at ink stage, but they stayed for me long enough to colour them. Key to sketching animals at the zoo: do it during meal times 🤓 . . . . . . . . . . . . #alfdoodles #watercolour #watercolor #acquarello #sketchingdaily #sketchesoninstagram #スケッチ #instaart #artistsoninstagram #artistsg #alvinmark #animalsketch #makingasplash #alvinmarksketchbook #baboon #oldworldmonkey #mandaizoo #sgzoo #hangingout #fruitbats #bat (at Singapore Zoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUqth54vVJW/?utm_medium=tumblr

Chacma baboons are a common sight raiding bins, clogging roads and slipping through wire fences across Southern Africa. Namibian baboons are a darker grey colour compared to those of South Africa or Zimbabwe, but no less mischievous. @thebaboonhouse @__baboons @monkeys_of_world @safariupdatetravels #baboon #bobbejaan #monkey #oldworld #oldworldmonkey #wild #wildlife #nature #animal #cheeky #nuisance #africa #african #namibia #namibian #namibianwildlife #conservation #chrismilliganphoto #africanwildlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CNx_ulkgMQR/?igshid=tqkr6z14ibl4

I could spend hours watching the gelada monkeys explore their habitat. Truly amazing to watch them interact with their environment and each other. #SanDiegoZoo #SDZooAfricaRocks #gelada #geladamonkey #primates #primate #oldworldmonkey #bleedingheartmonkey #awesomeanimals #zoo #sdzoo #zoophoto #tree #monkeysofinstagram #wildlifeaddicts (at San Diego Zoo)

The white-thighed surili (Presbytis siamensis) is an Old World Monkey, endemic to the Thai-Malay Peninsula. This species is in rapid decline, at a rate of a 30% population loss over 30 years. -- Today, I was lucky enough to see a family of 5 today hanging about in the trees. Seeing this primate was an incredible sight. They were not even 2 km from the nearest town; Tanah Rata. Tanah Rata is in the agricultural epicenter of Malaysia, The Cameron Highlands. This area is known for its excessive land clearing for agricultural purposes, with most of the clearing illegal. Constant landslides are a recurring problem in the steep, hilly region and the average temperature has risen by 2 degrees in the last decade. This forces lowland animals to move higher into the mountains, putting pressure on existing populations. -- With the human population in Malaysia growing at around 500,000 people a year, clearing of old-growth rainforest will continue. This leaves more land to be cleared for human consumption and less forest for these guys. -- #WhiteThighedSurili #surili #oldworldmonkey #PresbytisSiamensis #cameronhighlands #tanahrata #malasyia #rainforest #naturalhistory #nature #conservation #threatenedspecies #deforestation #malaypeninsula #iucn #oldgrowth #rainforest #overpopulation (at Cameron Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia)

These naughty fellas met me during my journey to Mount Abu. They just sat on my car and revived my mood. They just played with the car window and rear view mirrors trying to come inside the car n play with me. May be they were hungry and loking for food. Nature finds its own way to say a sweet hello, you just need to understand that. . . . . . . #oldworldmonkey #primate #macaque #newworldmonkey #langur #snout #wildlife #fur #black-and-white #monochrome #sepia #brown #wildlifephotography #wildlife_vision #natgeowild https://www.instagram.com/p/BtpvcBmH3SQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dx8e5eqycees

#MonkeyMonday & a #MammalMonday…A family troop of Chacma Baboons play on seaside cliffy rock formations. Such a great sighting & interesting to watch how they interact! 🐒 #baboons #monkeys #primates #baboontroop #oldworldmonkeys #capechacma #papioursinus #primatebehaviour #animalbehaviour #wildlifephotography (NB: We were a safe distance from these baboons, across a ravine. Please always use caution when around large primates while hiking! They mostly are afraid of people, but can be curious (especially when used to human presence) & may get aggressive. Make sure you keep your dogs under control on a lead, & that you do not leave packs with food away from you. Also, DO NOT feed baboons, & ensure your rubbish bins, doors, & windows are securely baboon-proof!) (at Plettenberg Bay, Western Cape) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNkfj2tgy69/?igshid=1fbg43pijt9q3
