Germain's langur

Mammals

Germain's langur (Trachypithecus germaini) is an Old World monkey native to Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, and it was previously included in Trachypithecus cristatus and Trachypithecus villosus. Two subspecies are recognised, and the monkey also goes by the names Indochinese lutung, Germain's silver langur and Indochinese silvered langur. It has black hands, feet and upper body that fade to paler grey underparts, a long grey tail and white hairs on a round face, and its young have bright orange fur. It lives mainly in lowlands, in evergreen, semi-evergreen, riverine, mixed deciduous and gallery forests, and it eats leaves, shoots and fruits, and has been seen eating mushrooms and soil. Troops of 10 to 50 individuals are common. It is widespread in Cambodia and common in Thailand, but populations in Vietnam are severely reduced. Hunting, the exotic pet trade and habitat loss from agricultural expansion threaten it, the IUCN lists it as endangered after a decline of more than 50 percent over three generations, and it is in CITES Appendix II.
