White marker on black illustration board
15" x 20"

The Hanuman Langur occurs throughout most of the Indian Subcontinent, and able to inhabit a variety of climates, from the parched deserts of Pakistan to the frigid forests of Nepal's Himalayas, as well as rainforests, villages, and even large cities. Their diet is more varied (than that of other langurs) Their diet, while primarily plant-based, includes insects (and other invertebrates), lizards and (sometimes) mice. Highly revered in Hindu culture, these protected monkeys have free reign in temples and shrines, and have become bold enough to panhandle sweet treats from their human caretakers.
