Description
The Francois langur (Trachypithecus vrancoisi) monkey is a medium sized Asian monkey that lives in China and Vietnam. Also called the Tonkin leaf monkey or simply the leaf monkey, its diet consists mainly of leaves. These monkeys have black, silky hair and distinctive white sideburns. Like so many other animals, their numbers are on the decline; they are threatened by loss of habitat and hunting (in China it is believed that they have medicinal value).
