Francois’ Langur Makes Its Debut at San Diego Zoo
A week-old baby Francois’ langur was held by two-year-old langur female Meili de Hua this week at the San Diego Zoo. The bright-orange baby, born on Nov. 14, is the newest addition to the Zoo’s langur troop and all five members of the troop have been taking turns caring for the youngster.
Francois’ langurs, also known as Francois’ leaf monkeys, practice alloparenting, which means every family member participates in raising the infant. The youngster can often be seen being passed around as each of the monkeys take turns holding the newest addition.
Langurs are born with bright-orange hair while their parents are black in color. It’s thought this color distinction makes it easier for the whole troop to identify and look after the infants. The youngster’s color usually changes within the first six months when the juvenile becomes an almost perfect copy of the adults.
