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.

Jigokudani Yaen-koen is located in the Nagano prefecture. Because of the steep cliffs and the steam coming off the hot springs, this area was called 'Hell Valley' by people who used to inhabit the area. The area is a haven for snow monkeys (aka Japanese macaques), and a park was established here in 1964.
The monkeys roam freely about the area, and visitors can view them from different platforms. Often, the monkeys decide to roam past the ropes and visit the visitors. You aren't allowed to touch or feed the monkeys, and for the most part, visitors respected their space. While we were there, the monkeys didn't spend too much time in the hot springs as it was a little warm out for them.
We had a visit to the Highland Wildlife Park today. Some amazing animals there. Here is a gorgeous baby Snow Monkey
