Late afternoon viewing of langurs returning to their cliffside sleeping roost. Local boatmen very knowledgeable of their movements. Several groups, healthy population in this isolated pocket of protected habitat.
T. o. carbo
Found off the western coast of Thailand, specifically on Ko Tarutao and Dayang Bunting Islands, and on Langkawi Island (Malaysia) (Groves 2001).
The languor would have been part of a resident group in the area probably isolated due to the fire crackers that were lit during the new year days.
It has been visiting the garden regularly.
Spent his time on the jack tree.
I could see this species in my evening trip to this sanctuary. It is superb place for primates and birds!! You can see 7-9 species of primates here.
