Introduction: What are silver langurs?
Silver langurs, also known as silver leaf monkeys, are primates that belong to the Colobinae subfamily. They are named for their silver-grey fur, which is long and thick. These monkeys are known for their distinctive appearance, social behavior, and dietary habits. They are also known for their importance in local cultures and their role in maintaining the ecological balance of their habitats.
Range: Where do silver langurs live?
Silver langurs are native to Southeast Asia, where they are found in a variety of forested habitats. They are most commonly found in the tropical rainforests of Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Myanmar. They are also found in other types of forested habitats, including mangrove forests, dry forests, and lowland dipterocarp forests. In some areas, they are also found in urban environments, such as parks and gardens. However, their range has been greatly reduced due to habitat loss and fragmentation caused by human activities.
