Colobinae is a subfamily of the Old World monkey family that includes 58 species in 10 genera, including the skunk-like black-and-white colobus, the large-nosed Proboscis Monkey, and the gray langurs, sacred to India. The Javan Lutung, Trachypithecus auratus It is found on and endemic to the island of Java, as well as on several of the surrounding Indonesian islands Chordates ( Phylum Chordata) are a group of Animals that includes the Vertebrates together with several closely related Invertebrates Mammals ( class Mammalia) are a class of Vertebrate Animals characterized by the presence of Sweat glands, including sweat glands A primate is a member of the biological order Primates ( Latin: "prime first rank" the group that contains Lemurs the Aye-aye The Old World monkeys or Cercopithecidae are a group of Primates falling in the Superfamily Cercopithecoidea in the Clade The Old World monkeys or Cercopithecidae are a group of Primates falling in the Superfamily Cercopithecoidea in the Clade Thomas Caverhill Jerdon (1811 - 1872 was a British Physician, Zoologist and Botanist.

India, officially the Republic of India (भारत गणराज्य inc-Latn Bhārat Gaṇarājya; see also other Indian languages) is a country Some classifications split the colobine monkeys into two tribes, while others split them into three groups. Both classifications put the two African genera Colobus and Piliocolobus in one group, both genera distinct in that they have a stub thumb. Black-and-white colobus are Old World monkeys of the genus Colobus and are closely related to the Red colobus monkeys of genus The red colobus are Old World monkeys of the genus Piliocolobus. The various Asian genera are placed into one or two other groups. Analysis of mtDNA confirms that the Asian species form two distinct groups, one of which contains langurs, with the "odd-nosed" species in the other, but suggests that the gray langurs are not too closely related to either (Sterner et al. Mitochondrial DNA ( mtDNA) is the DNA located in Organelles called mitochondria. The gray langurs are a group of Old World monkeys and make up the entirety of the Genus Semnopithecus. , 2006).

Colobines are medium-sized primates with long tails and diverse colorations. A primate is a member of the biological order Primates ( Latin: "prime first rank" the group that contains Lemurs the Aye-aye It is remarkable that nearly all of the young animals differ in their coloring substantially from the adults.

Most species are arboreal, although some live a more terrestrial life. Arboreal is a word meaning "related to or resembling trees" Terrestrial animals are Animals that live predominantly or entirely on land as compared with Aquatic animals which live predominantly or entirely in the water (e They are found in many different habitats of the different climate zones (rain forests, mangroves, mountain forests and savanah), but not in deserts and other dry areas. They live in groups, but in different group forms.

They are almost exclusively herbivores, which predominantly nourish themselves on leaves, flowers and fruits. Herbivory is a form of Predation in which an Organism, known as a herbivore, consumes principally Autotrophs ref name=Campbell>Campbell They occasionally eat insects and other small animals. To aid in digestion, particularly for hard-to-digest leaves, they have a multipart, complex stomach. Unlike the other subfamily of Old World monkeys, the Cercopithecinae, they possess no cheek pouches. The Cercopithecinae are a Subfamily of the Old World monkeys that includes in its roughly 71 species the Baboons the Macaques and the Cheeks ( Latin: buccae) constitute the area of the Face below the Eyes and between the Nose and the left or right Ear

Gestation averages six to seven months. Gestation is the carrying of an Embryo or Fetus inside a Female Viviparous Animal. Young are weaned for approximately one year and are mature at 3 to 6 years. Weaning is the process of gradually introducing a Mammal Infant, either human or animal to what will be its adult diet and withdrawing the supply of its mother's Their life expectancy is approximately 20 years. Life expectancy is the average number of years of life remaining at a given age
