Robinson's Banded Langur—Newly Distinguished as a Unique Species
This is the Robinson's banded langur (Presbytis robinsoni)! Robinson’s banded langurs are diurnal (active during daylight hours) and mostly arboreal (tree-dwelling). They are extremely good at navigating the forest canopy. They are sure-footed as they leap from branch to branch. Sometimes, especially before jumping or when young play, they stand on two legs. On the rare occasions when these monkeys descend to the ground, they walk quadrupedally, on all fours.
They use their long tails to balance while they sit on branches and reach out to grab leaves or fruits. They are highly alert animals and if you do see them in the wild, they are usually high in the canopy looking around for knowledge. Learn more: https://neprimateconservancy.org/robi...
