Northern Plains Gray Langur
Semnopithecus entellus
Adults inhabit northern Indian and neighboring plains landscapes, from dry deciduous forest and scrub to farmland, villages, and temple complexes. They feed mainly on leaves, fruits, flowers, seeds, bark, and crops, using a specialized sacculated stomach to ferment tough plant material. Long limbs and a very long tail aid balance during rapid climbing and bounding across gaps. Adults rely on agility, threat displays, bites, kicks, and loud alarm calls when challenged.
