Sabah grizzled langur

Mammals

The Sabah grizzled langur, Presbytis sabana, also called the Saban grizzled langur, is a monkey of the family Cercopithecidae native to the island of Borneo, in the province of Sabah in Malaysia, with part of its range in Indonesia. It was formerly considered a subspecies of Hose's langur. It is mostly gray with white underparts and black hands and feet, measures 48 to 56 cm without the tail, which is 64 to 84 cm long, and males weigh 6 to 7 kg and females 5.5 to 6 kg. It is arboreal and diurnal and lives in groups of about seven animals with a single adult male, while males outside groups are solitary. Its varied diet includes leaves, fruit, seeds, flowers, insects and bark, and it eats mineral-rich mud. It sometimes associates with the maroon langur. The IUCN lists it as endangered, mainly because of habitat loss, fragmentation and hunting.
