Скачать или смотреть Popa Langur—Total Remaining Population is under 200 individuals

This is the Popa langur (Trachypithecus popa)! Once they wake up, Popa langurs start foraging to find a large enough source of nutritious leaves and fruits. Once langurs find a patch of young leaves or ripe fruit, they stay in that spot and eat as much as they can, selecting the best leaves from the tree. In this way they clear patches of leaves in the forest before traveling to the next patch.

As the day progresses, it gets too hot to travel or be high up in the canopy for long, so they stop feeding for an afternoon rest period in the shade of the lower canopy.

Langurs sub-adults spend a lot of time grooming each other. Grooming is not only a hygienic practice to remove parasites, but it also helps maintain bonds and social hierarchy. One monkey can gain favors, such as access to food, by grooming a more dominant monkey.

The dominant male in the troop has the job of protecting the troop from predators and intruding males who want to displace him. As young males grow up and become sexually mature sub-adults, they are urged to leave the home troop as he may become a threat to the dominant male. This behavior also prevents males from mating with close relatives (such as aunts or cousins), which can cause genetic defects in the resulting offspring.
