Silvered Langur
Trachypithecus cristatus
The adult silvered langur is an agile arboreal monkey of Southeast Asian mangroves, peat swamps, river edges, and coastal forests. It feeds mainly on young leaves, with fruit, seeds, flowers, and shoots added when available. Adults move through the canopy with long leaps and use calls, stares, and defensive bites when threatened. A specialized multi-chambered stomach allows efficient digestion of leafy food that many mammals cannot process well.
