Nepal Gray Langur ढेँडु, फेटावाल बाँदर

The Nepal gray langur (Semnopithecus schistaceus) is a primate found in the Himalayan forests of Nepal, India, Bhutan, and Tibet. Distinguished by its gray fur, black face, and long tail, it thrives in diverse habitats ranging from subtropical woodlands to alpine regions. A primarily folivorous species, it feeds on leaves, fruits, and flowers. Social and arboreal, these langurs live in groups, playing a key role in seed dispersal. Habitat loss and human activities threaten their populations.
