This is a gray langur, also known as a hanuman langur, and I met the little guy in Bandhavgarh National Park in India. I saw quite a few of these monkeys, including lots of mothers with babies. Langurs practice what is known as alloparenting, meaning that the infant is eventually given to other mothers in the group to raise as their own.

Thanks Amanda. Always great when you can get that clean, blurred out background — especially in a forest that usually has a lot of distracting branches.

What a sweet little face. Love the eyes. Great bokeh, Sean!

Adorable!
As they say in France, Jolie-laide.
Thanks Gray, I learned a new word today. “Beautiful ugly” for those non-Francophiles.
Absolutely fascinating. The look, alloparenting………all fascinating.
Thanks Crown-dog. Never know what you might learn on photo of the day.

I agree with everyone else, seriously FASCINATING animal! And gorgeous shot, love the painterly background bokeh! Nice one!!
