More Animal Resources Types of Animals Types of Monkeys

Langurs are old world monkeys in the genus Trachypithecus, found in Southeast Asia and areas in and around the Indian sub-continent.

Other members of the genus go by the general name lutungs.

Unlike the old world monkeys of Africa that are ominivores, langurs are herbivores.
