Trachypithecus cristatus
A medium sized monkey which has a uniform silvery appearance. Long tail which are not prehensile. Lives in a group of about 20 to 30 individuals headed by an alpha male. Juvenile are orange coloured and will lose that colour upon reaching adulthood- less than a year.
Beach forest and Mangrove forest.
Males will make a distress call eeennnkkkk....oooorkk. Saw this group in the morning foraging the beach forest trees of Sea Hibiscus and Sea Almonds.
