Capped langur (Trachypithecus pileatus)
Bhutan
Langurs are for the most part seen in groups, but sometimes individuals are roaming all alone, like this one I encountered by the side of the road. Sometimes they are driven out by the dominant male but I wonder if some are caught up in the moment and find themselves way behind the group.
This one was behaving as if it did not know which way the group had gone – up or down the mountain side
The clouds were hugging the ground and the mist had condensed in the fur as myriads of beautiful droplets, but the dense fog also made any visual reference hidden and thus vocalisation of the group members was perhaps what it was hoping to hear as it was turning its head in many directions on a spot with clear line of sound from below and up the slope.
It eventually crossed the road and slowly headed upwards.
