The Gray Langur monkey is the most common monkey found in South Asia with approximately 300,000 existing today. The seven subspecies of this monkey are the Nepal, Kashmir, Tarai, Northern Plains, Black-footed, Southern Plains and the Tufted Gray Langur. Langur monkey eats a diet that depends highly on what is currently in season and abundant. It maintains a steady diet of fruit, flowers and leaves, preferring mature leaves over young leaves. he Gray Langur spends more time than any other monkey species on the ground, it will sleep in trees at night to avoid predators. Langur monkeys live in groups consisting of 11 to 60 monkeys. The group is dominated by a high-ranking male, who usually lasts in the leadership position for an average of 18 months. The Northern Plain Gray Langur monkey's superior eyesight and ability to sit atop high trees allows it to spot predators easily. Researchers have noted that this species will often sit next to herds of the Chital Deer and notify them when a predator is approaching. Additionally, the Langur will often drop fruit from tall trees, which the Chital Deer will then feed on.

Males are black except for the head which is whitish to reddish. Females are predominantly brown to brown-grey above, paler below, and have bright white to pale red stripes extending from each eye to the corners of the mouth.
When ever I see a Saki monkey they just seem to sit and stare,apparently Sakis are usually silent in captivity but emit a loud high pitch call in the wild.
i think he was deciding whether it was worthwhile to jump into the pond to get the food that drifted onto the water or sit around looking cute until tourists gave him more food
