Bhutan: Nepal Gray Langurs

Around some of the highest mountains passes above 3000m we got lucky to spot the spectacular Nepal gray langur (Semnopithecus schistaceus). They live in Himalayas, between 2500-4000m, well adapted for cold weather. Grey langurs are large primates with dark gray fur, white bellies, and black faces, hands, and feet, weighing 16-18kg. They have super long tails, up to 1m long, used for balance while tree hopping. They are diurnal, mostly herbivorous, and move in small troops, pretty much munching leaves all day long. They are well protected in Bhutan.
