Gee’s golden langur[1], also known simply as the golden langur, is an Old-World primate found in a small area of western Assam, India, and in the nearby foothills of the Black Mountains of Bhutan.
- Long-limbed and slender, the golden langur gets its name from the beautiful colors of its coat: a stunning golden white to creamy white that turns red and darker in winter.
- As conspicuous as the golden fur is, it also highlights the black, almost hairless face, framed by a fringe of golden mane-like hair.
- The researchers note that the southern golden langur may have a more even coat than its northern cousin, and babies may be apricot or gray to orange-brown at birth.
