| Summary: | A rapid and passive primate survey using a scanning technique was conducted in
Sibuti Wildlife Sanctuary (Sibuti WS) from 11th to 16th July, 2018. This study provided
the first confirmed record of the presence and the diet of silvered langur in the
wildlife sanctuary. A group of silvered langur that comprise 20 to 30 individuals were
observed in the vicinity of the sanctuary. The diurnal langur feeds on fig plants (Ficus
sp.), simpoh air (Dillenia suffruticosa) and tree from the family Leguminosae.
However, this langur population appears to be isolated and is probably decreasing
due to limited food sources, intra- and interspecific competition, and hunting
pressure by local people. |
