Silvered Langur Baby at the Bronx Zoo

New Yorkers visiting the Bronx Zoo's JungleWorld exhibit will be able to spot a new inhabitant by its orange-colored coat.

An infant silvered langur monkey has been born, and, over the course of the next three to five months, its orange coat will gradually change to the silvery color sported by adults of the species.

Silvered langurs are listed as a “vulnerable” species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
