Sleepy douc using red-shank headrest for a nap
The doucs are a family of monkeys often associated with langurs, and is referred to as costume monkeys. They are the most colourful monkeys there are, this one with red shanks, blue and grey fur, yellow-red face and blueish "eye-makeup".
Critical conditions
The doucs are all native to Indochine, the red shanks doucs are native to PR Laos, Viet Nam and northern Cambodia. They are critically endangered, hunted for medicin, food and glue-production. And, being tree-dwellers, human building projects involving removing forest and jungle.
During the hottest hours of the day they seek together and sleeps until the temperature is cooler for having fun, the food and party.
I can totally relate to that.
