François’ Langurs are a medium-sized primate that can be found in the forests of Southeast Asia from south-eastern China to northern Vietnam.
This leaf-eating monkey species is listed as Endangered with only an estimated 2000 individuals left in the wild, which makes the new arrivals more precious.

Young François’ Langur babies are born a bright orange colour, which makes them easy to spot amongst the adults which are black in colour with a white stripe on each side of the face that runs from the corners of the mouth to the ears.
They gradually turn from orange to black as they age, becoming fully black within the first year.
