Amidst a garbage dump with Maggi packets and polythene, two Indian Langurs search for food. Very used to living amongst humans now, the Langur are usually herbivores and is seen eating what is probably a flower petal.
Gray langurs are diurnal. They sleep during the night in trees but also on man-made structures like towers and electric poles when in human settlements. When resting in trees, they generally prefer the highest branches.
Ungulates like bovine and deer will eat food dropped by foraging langurs. Langurs are preyed upon by leopards, dholes and tigers. Wolves, jackals and pythons may also prey on langurs.
The entire distribution of all gray langur species stretches from the Himalayas in the north to Sri Lanka in the south and Bangladesh in the east to Pakistan in the west.[10] They possibly occur in Afghanistan.
Gray langurs can adapt to a variety of habitats. They inhabit arid habitats like deserts, tropical habitats like tropical rainforests and tempeature habitats like coniferous forests, deciduous habitats and mountains habitats. They live at altitudes up to 4,000 m (13,000 ft), even during snowfall. They can adapt well to human settlements, and are found in villages, towns and areas with housing or agriculture. They live in densely populated cities like Jodhpur, which has a population numbering up to a million.
