Lutung
The lutungs are a group of Old World monkeys and make up the entirety of the genus ''Trachypithecus''. Their range is split into two parts; one part is much of southeast Asia (northeast India, southern China, Taiwan, Borneo, Thailand, Java and Bali), the other part is extreme southern India and Sri Lanka. The greater part of India has lutungs. Most of the species in this genus can be referred to as lutungs, as langurs, or as leaf monkeys.
The name "lutung" comes from the Sundanese language and means ''blackness''; it is preferred by some authors because it distinguishes the genus from the "true" langurs of the Indian subcontinent.〔
==Description==
Lutungs have a rather slim build with a long tail. The fur color varies, depending on the species, from black and grey to orange yellow. Many species have skin designs and a brighter lower surface, the hair on the head is often compared to a hood. Their arms are very short in comparison to the feet and their thumbs are also somewhat shorter. The inner surfaces of the hands and feet are hairless so that their fur does not get caught when reaching into branches. These animals reach a length of 40 to 80 cm and a weight of 5 to 15 kg, with males generally larger than females. A bulge over the eyes and other details, primarily in the head, differentiate it from the surilis.
