Description:
The Semnopithecus entellus, commonly known as the Hanuman Langur, is a medium-sized primate native to the Indian subcontinent. It is easily recognizable by its silver-grey fur and black, hairless face. These monkeys live in complex social groups, often consisting of multiple females and a few males. They are primarily arboreal but frequently descend to the ground to forage. Their diet is varied, including leaves, fruits, flowers, and sometimes insects. Grey langurs are known for their adaptability to different habitats, ranging from tropical forests to urban areas. Their social behavior is fascinating, with complex interactions and well-established hierarchies.

Photography tips:
To photograph the Grey Langur, it is advisable to use a telephoto lens of at least 400mm to capture detailed images without disturbing the animal. As langurs are often on the move, setting a fast shutter speed is useful to avoid blur. Look for moments when they are socially interacting or feeding, as these behaviors can provide interesting shots. Morning or late afternoon light is ideal for achieving natural colors and soft shadows.
