Cat Ba Langur During 2 trips to try to see these shy and elusive Langurs we were fortunate enough to see a total of 16 individuals, which represented 20% of the world population. Very chastening! Our guide estimates that there are now 80 individuals rather than the figure of 70 which has been the accepted number for some 20 years or so.
