LANGUR

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 181 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KRO-LAP
LANGUR , one of the two Hindu names (the other being
hanuman
 ) of the sacred Indian monkey scientifically known as Semnopithecus entellus, and hence sometimes called the entellus monkey. A prodigiously
long
  tail, beetling eyebrows with
long
  black hairs, black ears, face, feet and hands, and a general greyish-brown colour of the fur are the distinctive characteristics of the langur. These monkeys roam at will in the bazaars of Hindu cities, where they help themselves freely from the stores of the
grain
 -dealers, and they are kept in numbers at the
great
  temple in Benares. In a zoological sense the
term
  is extended to embrace all the monkeys of the Asiatic genus Semnopithecus, which includes a large number of species, ranging from Ceylon, India and Kashmir to southern China and the Malay countries as far
east
  as Borneo and Sumatra. These monkeys are characterized by their lank bodies, long slender limbs and tail, well-developed thumbs, absence of cheek-pouches, and complex stomachs. They feed on leaves and
young
  shoots. (R. L.*)
