white-headed langurs are close relatives of francois langurs. adult white-headed langurs have white hair on their head and shoulders. their body is covered with a glossy black coat with varying proportions of black and white on their tail. newborns are bright yellow. the langurs are cliffdwelling, predominantly leaf-eating monkeys, active during the day; they spend most of the time foraging and resting on the limestone cliffs. at night, they retire to caves. the majority of white-headed langurs live in one-male "harem" groups.
these langurs suffer both from hunting and habitat destruction due to expansion of sugarcane plantations. it is reported to inhabit seven isolated karst regions that cover 60-80 km2 (within a total distribution of approximately 400 km2) in guangxi province. the white-headed langur’s estimated total population is 700-800 animals. thanks to the painstaking efforts of professor pan wenshi of peking university, numbers at chongzuo evidently have risen from less than 100 to more than 200 individuals since a biological research program was established in 1996. dr. chia tan, a research fellow for the zoological society of san diego, is working with the peking university team to conduct ecological and behavioral studies on the chongzuo langurs, as well as to initiate a public awareness campaign and increase local protection. it has been listed in the world’s top 25 most endangered species primates by conservation international in 2002.
