Among Asian colobines are Borneo's proboscis monkey, the Chinese snub-nosed monkeys and langurs, such as the douc of South-east Asia. |
|
Snub-nosed monkeys are closely related to the douc and were formerly classified in the same genus. |
|
Nearby, two douc langurs, with the porcelain faces of china dolls, white whiskers and scarlet calves, fought over food. |
|
The critically endangered Tonkin snub-nosed monkey was discovered in the 1980s, and the gray-shanked douc langur was discovered in just the last few years. |
|
It will open Saturday on 29 hectares of land with 59 species of animals, including such rare ones as the okapi, Asiatic lion and Douc langur. |
