• Monkey Business 😀

    December 11 in India ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    I spent today working. My concentration was broken only when a monkey ran across my roof and had his lunch in the tree in front of my cabin! I learned that he was a Hanuman langur, one of seven species of langur spread across Asia. They are named after the Hindu god, Hanuman, the deity of healing and worship, who is often depicted as part-man, part-monkey. They are also known as grey langurs, and are notable for their very long tails. They are leaf-eaters. That's why he was up my tree 😀.
