The Annamese langur is another Old-World monkey in the subfamily Colobinae.

• Annamese langurs^[1] are covered in thick, gray fur. They have dark faces, and the space around the eyes is pale and forms a ring, often in the flesh.
• The hair of the head forms a hood or cap. The abdomen is a lighter gray than the rest of the torso, as are the legs and the underside of the tail.
• They have black hands and feet. Infant Annamese langurs are very easy to identify as they have a surprisingly glossy golden-orange coat that contrasts starkly with the gray color of the adults.
• After a few months, this orange coat begins to turn grayish until the juveniles are the same coloring as the adults.

• A distinctive feature of all langurs of the Trachypithecus group is the orange pelage of their young.
• Trachypithecus margarita is a monotypic species as it has no subspecies.
• Previously, it was considered a subspecies of Trachypithecus germaini until it was elevated to a species of its own by Roos and Groves^[2].
• Its fur is lighter than the Indochinese silvery langur (Trachypithecus germaini).
• The diet of these langurs is similar to that of other Trachypithecus species, characterized by a large consumption of leaves and supplemented with fruits.
