Dusky Leaf Monkey of Bukit Tinggi

After visiting Thomson Nature Park, I remember I met some leaf monkey sometimes ago and have not blog anything about it. After going through my photo library, found some lovely pictures of Dusky leaf monkeys also known as Spectacled langur, or Spectacled leaf monkey (Trachypithecus obscurus)

My main purpose of this trip is birding and the appearance of these leaf monkeys just came as extra bonus.

This langur almost finish all the young leaf and looks like is trying to eat the new branch?

I can watch them the whole day! With the spectacle like eye ring, make it super cute.
Their tail is longer than the Long tail macaque!
Despite of their size larger than the long tail macaque that doesn't stop them from jumping from one tree to another.

They have such a good balancing skill, pluck leaf with one hand with another hand free without holding to any tree branches!
