A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Semnopithecus entellus
These langurs are largely grey (some more yellowish), with a black face and ears. The head-and-body length is from 51 to 79 cm (20 to 31 in). Their tails, at 69 to 102 cm (27 to 40 in) are always longer than their bodies.
Yala National Park, Sri Lanka. Yala combines a strict nature reserve with a national park. Divided into 5 blocks, the park has a protected area of nearly 130,000 hectares of land consisting of light forests, scrubs, grasslands, tanks and lagoons. One block is currently opened to the public. Situated in Sri Lanka’s south-east hugging the panoramic Indian Ocean, Yala was designated a wildlife sanctuary in 1900 and was designated a national park in 1938. Ironically, the park was initially used as a hunting ground for the elite under British rule. Yala is home to 44 varieties of mammal and 215 bird species.
There was a big group in these trees (and also a Grizzled Giant Squirrel ) see http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/112... Unfortunately for me their faces kind of stayed in the dark parts of the trees so the pictures are a bit dark.
