<div class="tree_txt_unlinked"><p><em>Pygathrix</em>, or the Douc langurs, are found in partly deciduous forests of Vietnam, Kampuchea, and Laos. Three species may be recognized: <em>P. cinerea</em> (gray-shanked douc langur), <em>P. nemaeus</em> (red-shanked douc langur), and <em>P. nigripes</em>
(black-shanked douc langur). Their coats are colorful. Not much is
known about their behavior, but they may live in single-male and
multi-male groups, which join to form larger bands. They are arboreal
quadrupeds.</p>
