Red-shanked Douc
Pygathrix nemaeus
Red-shanked doucs inhabit evergreen and semi-evergreen forests, spending most of their time high in the canopy. They move with agile leaps and careful climbing while feeding mainly on young leaves, shoots, flowers, and unripe fruit. Their specialized digestive system helps process a leaf-heavy diet, while their vividly patterned fur makes them one of the most striking primates in Asia.
