François' Langur
The Francois’ langur, for my 2020 endangered species calendar. You can order the calendar here!
François' langur Trachypithecus francoisi ©Laura Quick François' langur is a medium-sized primate with black, silky hair. It has very distinct white sideburns that grow down from its ears to the corners of its cheeks. A morphological specialization of François' langur is its complex stomach, made up of four separate chambers. This is a necessary adaptation for the digestion of its folivorous diet (eating foliage). They have long non-prehensile tails, they use for balance as they move quickly through their environment.
