Long-tailed langur in Sri Lanka

author:Old Du

The ecology of Sri Lanka is very good, people believe in Buddhism and do not harm animals, this is the black-faced long-tailed monkey I photographed in the side of the hotel where we stayed.

The black-faced long-tailed monkey is formally known as the long-tailed langur, and the long-tailed langur mainly inhabits tropical and subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forests, and sometimes in temperate mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests. They can be seen on the southern slopes of the Himalayas from the lowlands to the high mountains. They are revered as sacred monkeys in countries such as India and Sri Lanka, and no one dares to touch them. Long-tailed langurs mainly eat a variety of leaf buds, accounting for about 54% of the total food, eating flowers account for about 5% of food, fruits account for about 37%, occasionally eat small insects, usually after the sun rises out to forage, take a long rest at noon, then carry out activities and eating in the afternoon, and return to the tree to sleep in the evening.
