Don't miss our new François’s langurs!

Though its name may sound French, don’t be fooled: this primate is actually from Southeast Asia. The François langur was named for a Monsieur François, who was a French Consul in China when he first observed these animals.

Called “leaf monkeys,” these langurs’ diet consists primarily of—you guessed it—leaves! Like other folivorous (leaf-eating) animals, these langurs have a specialized stomach with multiple chambers to help them break down cellulose, the indigestible fiber found in plants. Because of this energy-consuming process, they spend reportedly nearly 70% of their time resting and digesting.
