The black-footed gray langur is a leaf-eating monkey of southern India, one of the gray langurs. It is distributed throughout south-western India, in Goa, Karnataka and Kerala, and is centred on the Western Ghats (Wikipedia, general species account).
Its total range is about 35,000 km², and the species lives both inside and outside protected areas. The cached account is only a few lines long and gives no measurements, breeding or behaviour, so this entry is limited to range and diet (Wikipedia, general species account).
