capped langur

Taken in 2006, it had died.
Sad to see such an interesting primate species such as the Capped langur (Trachypithecus pileatus) gone from Beijing Zoo, are there any Capped langurs in captivity still ?

I know that here in the US, not too many places had them, but San Diego Zoo kept and bred them in the 1940s and Cheyenne Mountain Zoo kept them in the 1960s

Also thank you for sharing this photo with us, baboon :)

Thank you! As I know, besides Beijing Zoo, Kunming Zoo had also exhibit one capped langur recently, but it also died now :(
Now in China there is no zoo having this species yet. Beijing Zoo used to exhibit four langur species (white-headed, Francois, Phayre and capped), but it is too sad that only Francois's langur left now.
