Phayre's leaf monkey

Phayre's leaf monkey, Trachypithecus phayrei, also known as Phayre's langur, is an Old World monkey native to India, Bangladesh and Myanmar; populations further east are now thought to belong to other species. The species name commemorates Arthur Purves Phayre, and Edward Blyth used the name Presbytis phayrei in 1847 for two young animals captured alive in the Arakan Mountains. The name now refers to the animals of East Bengal, Northeast India and western Myanmar, west of the Chindwin and Irrawaddy Rivers. White rings around the eyes look like spectacles, which gives it the Bengali name Chasma bandor, and the deep bluish-brown fur is darker at the head, below the elbows and at the tail tip. It is diurnal and arboreal, a folivore that also takes shoots, seeds, flowers, gum and fruit, and it lives in multi-male, multi-female groups with a dominant alpha male. It is listed as Endangered, and the main threats are habitat destruction, fragmentation, logging, roadkill, ecotourism, electrocution and hunting.
