    Ha ha! Did you know that langurs tails can be over a metre long, usually as long or more so than their bodies. Posted 10 years ago

      Full body shot of a Tufted Gray Langur in Yala, Sri Lanka In this photo you can see how the length of their tail is almost twice the length of the rest of their body. Asia,Semnopithecus priam,Sri Lanka,Tufted gray langur,Yala
