BORNEO INSIGHTS – SILVERED LEAF MONKEY

Photographed in Bako National Park, Sarawak.

“A pair of Silvered Leaf Monkeys (Trachypithecus cristatus) greet each other with a hug.
Like other langurs, this species is highly social and travels in cohesive groups numbering up to 40 or more individuals. They have a specialized diet, feeding almost exclusively on high-protein leaves.
Photo info: Nikon D810, 600mm
f/4 lens, 1/320 sec, f/7.1, ISO 640.”
