Endangered capped langur spotted in Assam's Kaziranga National Park

Kaziranga National Park, renowned for its scenic views and rich biodiversity, recently offered a rare sighting along road number 37 in the Burhapahar forest area. 

Murali Bora, a nature enthusiast and teacher, captured the stunning moment when a Capped Langur, a distinctive primate known for the dark patch of fur atop its head, was seen in the forest.

The Capped Langur, native to Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, and Myanmar, is easily recognizable by the "cap" of dark fur on its head.

This forest-dwelling primate's dorsal side features hues ranging from golden orange to yellow, transitioning into a long brown or grey tail.

The animal's face, ears, and feet are marked by black fur, and they typically weigh between 10-14kg with a height of 50-70cm.

This sighting adds to the allure of Kaziranga National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site famed for its diverse wildlife, including the endangered one-horned rhinoceros.

The park continues to be a vital sanctuary for many species and a haven for nature lovers and wildlife photographers.
