Hatinh Langur
DESCRIPTION
Hatinh Langurs are black with a thin white line of fur over the upper lip that thickens at the corner of the mouth and extends to the cheeks, around the ears and down to the neck. They have a high pointed crest on the head and a long tail, that unlike the François’ Langurs, they hold in an arc over their back. Males and females vary in size with males weighing an average of 7.8 kilogram with an average head-body length of 56 centimeter and females average 6.8 kilogram with 55 centimeter head-body length. Females possess a distinctive ‘pubic patch’ of white fur and pale skin anterior to the callosities.
