Photo Tips for Your Visit So, when you go looking for photos, go with the flow. Explore and discover which animals are "on" at the moment and turn your attention toward them. |
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. |
