Lutung

 Now for the last of the Monkey Kitten Litter. Lutung. 

Or, these guys. Like Langur, Lutung is a family of monkeys, not just a single species. They actually have a lot of crossover, in that a lot of monkeys that are officially named Langur/Lutung often have another common name of the other. 

Silvery Lutung, from the Our Breathing Planet link below. 

These are from the New England Primate Conservancy, and are still Silvery Lutungs. They're babies. When Silvery Lutungs are born, they're golden and white, then they quickly turn black and silver over the first few months of life. You can see the baby turning darker in the pictures here. Scientists aren't sure why they start out orange, but there are two theories on it. Either it's so their parents can track them, or so color-blind predators can't. 

Silver Lutungs are also known as Silver Leaf Monkeys. Probably because they live in dense forests, which are threatened and causing some problems for their continued existence. They might also be called that because they mostly live on leaves. Eating leaves means they have to lay around and relax for a while so that they can digest the fiber-rich food. 

Like a lot of monkeys, these guys live in groups of one male and several females, though occasionally there are roving groups of bachelors looking for ladies to start a new group with. 

There are also Javan and Laotion Lutungs, and a few others, but I couldn't find as much information on them and my internet is being really slow still, so those pages didn't want to load and I'm not going to push it. Besides, I thought the Silvery Lutung worked well for my silver-gray kitten. 

Hopefully you enjoyed reading this. If you want more pictures of these babies, let me know and I'll be happy to share. Links below if you want to know more. I know I don't tell you a lot about things, but that's because I tell you what I think is really cool about them and if you're interested, I share my sources so you can look into things more. If you want me to tell you more of the stuff I find boring, feel free to tell me and I will. Thanks for your time though, and I'll hopefully see you again soon.
