It took us more than a year to have the luck to spot these critically endangered langur.
Thanks to the wildlife watcher whom gesture us to join her quickly when she spotted this at a lower branch.

Unlike the long-tailed macaques, the raffles' banded langur is a very shy and quiet monkey. It moved upwards quickly towards the tree top and though quiet, they are actually very fast.

The adult knows how to station itself at this "cross junction" so that it can guide its junior to move to another tree.

After moving the 1st junior, it sat here to wait for another. Then it moves towards the forest area, away from the human tracks.

We managed to spot the adult at a far distance taking a break here.

So relax because it was far away from the walking track and high up above the big trees.
We spotted 4 of them today. Hopefully be able to spot them again when we visit TNP again.
