Mitered langur

The mitered langur, Presbytis mitrata, is a monkey of the family Cercopithecidae that is native to the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the Sumatran surili, Presbytis melalophos, but genetic analysis revealed that these are separate species. The IUCN lists it as vulnerable, mainly because of deforestation and also because animals are taken for pets. It has gray or brown fur on the back, darker than on the belly, with still darker arms, legs and tail, and a gray face with white ruffs on the cheeks and a white crown surrounded by a black arch. Head and body length is 42 to 57 cm, the tail is 62 to 82 cm and weight reaches about 5.9 kg. It is diurnal and arboreal and eats leaves, unripe fruits, flowers and seeds.
