Hanuman langur

Semnopithecus entellus

Description:

These langurs are largely gray (some more yellowish), with a black face and ears. Externally, the various species mainly differ in the darkness of the hands and feet, the overall color and the presence or absence of a crest. Their tails are always longer than their bodies. They mostly walk quadrupedally and spend half their time on and the ground and the other half in the trees. They will also make bipedal hops, climbing and descending supports with the body upright, and leaps.

Habitat:

Seen at Madhav National Park. The entire distribution of all gray langur species stretches from the Himalayas in the north to Sri Lanka in the south and Bangladesh in the east to Pakistan in the west.

Notes:

The first two pics are of the same family.
