Een verzorgster in de Antwerpse Zoo trof begin deze week plots een baby aan bij de mutslangoeren. Een verrassing, want alle vrouwtjes hebben een implantaat tegen ongewenste zwangerschap. Mama Bonnie was blijkbaar net voor de ingreep nog zwanger geraakt. De baby maakt het goed en wordt al vlot opgenomen in de groep. Opvallend is de rosse kleur van de mutslangoer, maar het is nog niet te zeggen of ze nog van kleur zal veranderen.

The Javan Lutung inhabits the interior and peripheral areas of rainforests - Halimun Salak National Park. This primate is diurnal and arboreal. Its diet is primarily herbivorous, eating leaves, fruit, flowers, and flower buds, although it also eats insect larvae. As with other colobines, it has evolved a specialised stomach to digest plant material more efficiently.This species also has enlarged salivary glands to assist it in breaking down food. Like other langurs, the Javan Lutung is a social animal, living in groups of around seven individuals, with one or two adult males in the group. Although they will look after offspring of other mothers as well as their own, adult females are aggressive towards females from other groups. The brighter coloring of juveniles may alert females to their presence and ensures that they will always be noticed and protected. This species has no discernible mating season and females produce one offspring at a time. Like all langurs, this species' tail is noticeably long, measuring up to 87 cm in length while the body is only around 55 cm long. The two subspecies of this lutung are fairly similar in appearance and are geographically separated; males and females are both usually glossy black, although the females pale, yellowish white patch around the pubic area. Juveniles of both subspecies are orange in color. The nominate subspecies Trachypithecus auratus auratus has a rare race that does not lose its juvenile coloration when it matures, instead the coloration darkens slightly, with yellow tinges on its sides, limbs, and around its ears, and a black tinge on its back. The Javan Lutung, Trachypithecus auratus also known as the Ebony Lutung and Javan Langur, is an Old World monkey from the Colobinae subfamily. It is most commonly glossy black with a brownish tinge to its legs, sides, and "sideburns".It is found on and endemic to the island of Java, as well as on several of the surrounding Indonesian islands. The Latin word auratus in its scientific name means "golden", and refers to a less common color variant. Note that the common name Golden Langur is used for a different species.

I've been to New York many times to visit family, but this is my first time soaking in the city life. I could not believe the exquisite landmarks I visited and their tremendous stories shared. This is one of them. My first visit to the renowned Bronx Zoo. I only have positive things to say about it. From the natural exhibits to the variety of exotic animals. I will be coming back hopefully for a weeks time to truly soak in this experience. This bucket list is being scratched off.
