A slender, long-tailed monkey native to South and Southeast Asia, typically living in trees and feeding mainly on leaves.
Langurs belong to the Old World monkey family and are recognized by their long tails, lean build, and often strikingly marked faces. Most species live in social troops high in the forest canopy and communicate through loud, far-carrying calls. Several kinds of langur, such as the golden langur and the gray langur, are closely watched in parts of India and Nepal because they live so close to human settlements.
