My previous post was More Baby Langurs, plural, which was kind of a mistake, but it's true. There are two babies here:
This one is older and has lost a lot of its orange hair. |
Some, but not all. Note mom's foot on the tail. |
I have a camera and I enjoy animals. Rather than hike into the wilderness, I photograph animals where they’re concentrated: In zoos.

The Columbus Zoo seems to have a successful breeding program for silvered langurs. There have been one or two babies every year for the last several years.
The babies are orange at first. |
Kids sometimes want to go exploring on their own.
Who needs a vine when there's a tail? |
The langurs are good photographic subjects, which is why I've posted about them a few times already. There is often something going on, such as eating or watching mice, and babies are fun. Often, there are two groups: A bachelor group and a group of mothers, babies, and youngsters. They're indoors in winter, and the glass is not annoyingly reflective. The lighting is good, depending on where the monkeys are in the enclosure.
