In contrast, the Grey-shanked Douc is less vibrant, with speckled grey legs and orange markings on the face. Both have dappled grey bodies, black hands and feet and white cheeks, although the cheek hairs of the Red-shanked Douc are much longer. The Black-shanked Douc has black legs. Their long hind limbs and tail allow these monkeys to be wonderfully agile in their treetop habitat.
Even though they are known as "douc langurs", they are in fact more closely related to the Proboscis Monkey and snub-nosed monkeys, than to any of the langurs. The Proboscis Monkey ( Nasalis larvatus) also known as the Monyet Belanda (in Malay) the Bangkatan (in Indonesian) or simply The snub-nosed monkeys are a group of Old World monkeys and make up the entirety of the Genus Rhinopithecus.
