East Sumatran banded langur

Mammals

The East Sumatran banded langur, Presbytis percura, also known as the East Sumatran banded surili, is a monkey of the family Cercopithecidae, the Old World monkeys. It was formerly considered a subspecies of Raffles' banded langur, Presbytis femoralis, but genetic analysis revealed it to be a separate species. Its range is restricted to the Riau Province of east-central Sumatra. Because its population is declining and its range is restricted to small, isolated forests that suffer high rates of deforestation, the IUCN declared it critically endangered in 2020.
