Silver Langur Silver langurs can be found in Northern India. They are considered a nuisance among Indian farmers due to their habit of raiding crops and stealing food. The langur's wild diet is mainly leaves. Langurs must sit quietly to allow digestion to take place. Silver langurs live in groups of 10 to 60 in the wild.
All females care for one another's young.
They live both in rain forests and mountain forests, as well as along rivers in the savanna zone. Their physical characteristics are hooked noses, a plumelike tail, and hands with four fingers but no thumbs. In the wild, they rely on foliage for food, and their stomachs harbor microbes, which ferment the leafy material as it passes through the stomach to aid digestion. They are most active at dawn and dusk, and are known to be daring aerialists, hurling themselves into the air as they travel from tree to tree. In the 19th century, they were hunted extensively for their popular fur.
