Field Notes

Description:

Considered as a sacred animal in India, Hanuman Langurs have adapted well to the urban habitat and are found in groups.

Habitat:

Urban city around a residential settlement.

Notes:

It's a delightful sight watching the little ones play. While the mothers are resting the young ones practice antics and sharpen their newly acquired skills of jumping on trees.
