A
comparative analysis based on satellite images taken in 1988 and 1998 showed
a 50% loss of original golden langur habitat. An average group size of
8.2 (range from 4.0 to 22.0) individuals was recorded. A total of
1,064 individuals were counted living in 130 groups. The sex ratio was
1.9-2.5 adult females for each adult male. Most of the groups had only
one adult male.
The
diet of the langur - a vegetarian - is composed mainly of mature leaves,
but it also eats young leaves and fruit. |
