Golden Langurs are known for their rich golden to bright creamish hair, a black face and a very long tail measuring up to 50 cm in length. For the most part, the langur is confined to high trees where its long tail serves as a balancer when it leaps across branches. During the rainy season they obtain water from dew and rain drenched leaves. Their diet is vegetarian consisting of ripe and unripe fruits, mature and young leaves, seeds, buds and flowers. They generally live in troops of about 8 (but sometimes up to 50) with several females to each adult male. Golden Langurs are currently endangered, the total population being about 10 000, the relative dearth of infants and juveniles indicating a declining population and the habitat being degraded by human activity.
