Toi

Toi is a Red-shanked Douc Langur

She will be 19 yrs. old in June, and I believe that she is the only one of her species living in a zoo. I think she had a mate, but he is no longer listed on the zoo's webpage, so he may have passed on.

In the wild you would find them in the rain forests of Vietnam and Laos. They are critically endangered.

 

I was glad to get a picture of her. They are very shy creatures. The keepers actually cover over 1/2 of her viewing area, so if she wants to retreat from prying eyes she can.
