Cute Baby Monkey Playing in Kaeng Krachan NP, Thailand
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
I'm back in Kaeng Krachan National Park (อุทยานแห่งชาติแก่งกระจาน) again - this time with my son and daughter, and we have spotted a troop of langurs low down by the river that runs beside Ban Krang Campsite. It has got quite hot in the middle part of the day, so I have run to film these langurs in case they go down to the water to drink, which is something I have wanted to film for a long time. You will see some feeding and drinking in my next clip, but at first my eye was drawn to this gorgeous infant playing in the low bushes.

Note that the link for this species in Thailand is somewhat outdated. Until recently this species throughout its range in Thailand was known as Trachypithecus obscurus (variously known in English as spectacled langur, dusky leaf monkey, spectacled leaf monkey) but has now been split into four sub-species here in Thailand. Those individuals found in most of the Thai peninsular, including Kaeng Krachan are assigned the name T. obscurus flavicauda with the English name being blond-tailed langur.

Yes. These baby langurs are super cute.
Great video. Any thoughts of why the young are bright orange?

Thanks Brian.... I am just editing the rest of my encounter with this troop, which includes them drinking from the stream, but I thought it would be nice to have the playing baby in its own clip. The phenomenon is believed to encourage allomothering or allopaternal care etc., which is where individuals other than the biolgical mother or father take part in parenting of the young. I have seen this with langurs, but quite how the colour difference encourages that behaviour I am not sure. Perhaps it just makes it clear to every member of the troop that here is an infant animal - help take care of it.
What a rare sight to see 🤔 So sad that so many species of monkeys and apes are well as many animals are disappearing do to poaching, illegal pet trade and habitat loss.😢😢😢

Hello Lucy.... thanks for your comment. Although what you say clearly applies to many areas of the world, we are very lucky here in Thailand to have a large number of protected areas where our wildlife can flourish. All tree cutting was banned here in 1989, so the situation in Thailand is very different to many of our SE Asian neighbours where forests continue to be cut for greed. We still have many species of langurs and macaques and in Kaeng Krachan they seem to be doing well, and are quite easy to see.
