Life of Javan langur

Lutung (or in other languages ​​called langur) is a group of Old World monkeys that make up the genus Trachypithecus. Broadly speaking, langurs are scattered in two areas: Southeast Asia (southwest India, southern China, Borneo, and Bali) and southern India following Sri Lanka.

 Slim and long-tailed monkeys. The color of the hair (hair) of his body varies depending on the species, from black and gray, to golden yellow. When compared with his legs, arms are fairly short, with a palm that is not hairy. The size of the monkeys ranged from 40-80 cm, weighing 5-15 kg; males bigger than females. The bulge above his eyes distinguishes the monkey from his close relative, surili.

  Lutung live in forests, especially rainforests. Everyday clinging and jumping from tree to tree, monkeys include day animals (diurnal animals), and very active in the morning and evening. These animals live clustered between 5-20-an led by a male. The male voice is very loud, aimed primarily at reminding other groups not to enter their territory.

   Monkeys include herbivores that primarily eat foliage, fruits, and flower buds. these tended foods can be digested, because the monkeys have four chambers on their stomachs.

  Usually, monkeys bear one, with seven months pregnant. One of the interesting things about this monkey is his golden-haired son, and is nourished by all the females in the group. Along with age, the golden color in this hair will fade darkly until finally reach adult at the age of 4-5 years. This animal can live up to 20 years.
