The Nilgiri Langur, also known as Indian Hooded Leaf Monkey, is an attractive black Colobine monkey with a pale gold mane. They live at elevations between 980 and 6,500 feet (300–2,000 m) and occupy a variety of forest types, including evergreen, semi-evergreen, moist deciduous, mountain, and riparian. A favorite habitat type of theirs is sholas—narrow stretches of forest nestled within high-elevation valleys and surrounded by grasslands. These unique habitats are found only in South India. The langurs tend to prefer locations that are close to water and far from humans.Nilgiri langurs live in unimale or multi-male groups with nine or ten group members on average, although groups with up to 27 members have been observed. Unimale groups are more common and they are usually smaller, as a single male cannot protect and exert control over larger groups of females.
