Baby silvered leaf langur

A silvered leaf langur was born at the Columbus Zoo January 23. The neat thing about a baby silvered leaf langur is that it's orange even though adults are gray and black. I visited February 11.

A gray and black langur mother holds her baby with only the baby's orange tail visible.
Mom Daria holds her baby. That's a tail to be proud of!

Mother langur Daria holds her orange baby with her right arm as she reaches for food with her left.
Ah, there's the newborn!
The baby rests on Daria's feet as Daria looks down.
Some cuddle time
The baby silvered leaf langur stands on one step and reaches to the next.
One step was a tough climb.
Two juvenile silvered leaf langurs play with the baby.
Other members of the troop lend a hand(?). The two gray langurs were born last year.
A third juvenile langur joins the other two and the baby in play on the steps.
The third juvenile gets in on the action. It seemed rough, but the baby was okay and mom didn't seem to mind.
