The Golden Langur Spotted In Our Campus For The First Time

Two Golden Langur  were spotted in our residence's adjacent wood area(as we in Assamese called Bari), by this blogger all of a sudden on the branches of a tree in the morning.This is for the first time I have spotted Golden Langur in our campus.Many of our campus rushed out to see them.There was quite an excitement in the campus.
They ate something looked like seeds from the fruits of the tree and they exhibited their skill in jumping from one tree to the other.It seems to me they are like other local monkeys, wants to remain high above the tree from their behaviours observed for two or three hours.They remained in the campus for a long time and later during noon,I and my cousin traced them well deep inside the wood above the trees towards our campus's eastern border. In our backside, in Shivpur locality, five or more group of Golden Langur often has been found roaming around as per information received.
I think the Golden Langurs are listed as Endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.And  you can find more about Golden Langur by visiting the link below 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gee%27s_golden_langur
or search the net for details information.
And in a few kilometers away from Abhayapuri, in the 
Kakoijana reserved forest is now known for the habitat for the Golden Langur.





I have taken a few snaps of the two Golden 
Langur  spotted with my mobile camera without disturbing them.But due to poor quality of my mobile camera, the pictures were not of good quality.Please bear with that.

Thats all for today

More News & Reports Soon.
