The silvered langur feeds on leaves and fruit in trees; its orange young gradually develop the silver coat of adults.
Adults have silvery gray fur that varies in darkness, while infants are born with orange fur.
Silvery langurs live in Tanjung Datu National Park in Sarawak, Malaysia. From July 2023 to February 2024, Mohd-Ridwan and colleagues surveyed four trails by day and night. They covered about 8.9 kilometres of transects over 420 survey hours and recorded 226 individuals from eight primate species in the park.
Silvery langurs had an encounter rate of 7.08 per kilometre, the second highest among the eight species. They were recorded at all surveyed sites. Riverine and coastal forests had the greatest diversity across the full primate community, which included species beyond the silvery langur.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
Along four trails in Tanjung Datu National Park, silvery langurs were recorded at all surveyed sites, at 7.08 encounters per kilometre. Riverine and coastal forests had the highest primate diversity across the assemblage.
