| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
| In Ranthambore Tiger Reservate there are also lots of langur monkeys. Especially at the entrance. They even attack you, if you are eating a banana or an orange, and steal the fruit, very quickly. |

Monica, these are not called lemur monkeys, but Langur monkeys or sacred langurs (Presbytis entellus) in English and Hanuman in most Indian languages. This monkey is considered sacred by the Hindu religion and one can't hurt them.
