Another Baby Langur

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.

More Baby Langurs

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.
