Tree-dwellers of Kaziranga....
April 13, 2011
No, I’m not referring to the birds here! There were two creatures that my friends were very eager to see….the
HOOLOCK GIBBON
and the
BLACK-CAPPED LANGUR
(Well, they wanted a few more, but those….they didn’t get!)
We were able to see the male Hoolock Gibbon first….
Almost immediately, we realized that there was a mother-and-child duo quite close by:
After a little while, the mother felt secure enough to let the baby away from her body, and let the little one swing around by itself:
You can see her how fast some of the mothers were going!
Two of them finally sat down for a few seconds, at least!
We'd earlier also seen some
ASSAMESE MACAQUES:
Alas, we could not see the Stump-tailed Macaques....!
