white-fronted langur
Quick Summary
The white-fronted langur (Presbytis frontata) is a species of Asian monkey belonging to the subfamily Colobinae. Langurs are generally gregarious, diurnal, and arboreal, characterized by long tails and slender bodies. The white-fronted langur, native to Borneo, is the smallest species, weighing around 5.5 kg (12 pounds).1
Like other langurs, they have complex stomachs adapted for a diet of leaves, fruit, and vegetation. While often referred to as leaf monkeys, their diet is not exclusively leaves and can include flowers and fruits depending on the season. Langurs are Old World monkeys, and several species are endangered.12
