Hose’s langur  (Presbytis hosei)

Description

Hose’s langur is a relatively small, slim-built primate (5), characterised by a high forehead and a prominent, forward-leaning crest down the centre of the crown (3) (6). The colour of the coat varies with the subspecies, but is predominantly grey on the back, white on the stomach and chest, and blackish on the hands and feet. The face is pink, with a distinct black band marking each cheek. Infants are easily distinguished, being white with black lines down the back and across the shoulders (3). Groups (probably the adult male) sometimes give a unique gargling call (7).
