Thanks Alice,

I was fortunate to see this symbiotic relationship between Langurs and Spotted Deer.

The Common Langur is most reliable when it comes to spotting a predator. When you hear a Langur alarm call in the forest, you can be rest assured that there is surely a Tiger, Leopard or Wild Dogs in the vicinity.

Also, one can see an interesting symbiotic relationship between Langurs and Chitals (Spotted Deer). The Langurs are wasteful feeders and the Deer follow them and eat the fruits that they spill. Apart from this, the Langurs act as early warning system for predators given their good eye sight and high vantage points in trees. And the Deer return the favor by using their better sense of smell in spotting predators when the Langurs are grazing alongside them on the ground, which is not an uncommon sight.
