Nepal gray langur

Mammals

The Nepal gray langur, Semnopithecus schistaceus, is a gray langur endemic to the Himalayas in Nepal, far southwestern Tibet, northern India, northern Pakistan, Bhutan and possibly Afghanistan. It is found in forests at an elevation of 1,500 to 4,000 m, and its easternmost limit in India is Buxa Tiger Reserve in northern West Bengal, at least up to the Rydak river. It is both terrestrial and arboreal and eats leaves. At 26.5 kg the heaviest langur ever recorded was a male Nepal gray langur. The English Wikipedia list of Old World monkeys records the species as of least concern and as living in forest, shrubland and rocky areas.
