The black-footed gray langur (Semnopithecus hypoleucos) is an Old World monkey, one of the species of langurs. Found in southern India, this, like other gray langurs, is a leaf-eating monkey. The black-footed gray langur was previously considered to be a subspecies of Semnopithecus entellus. Research in 2003 may indicate that it is a subspecies of Semnopithecus dussumieri. Some experts believe that the species may be a naturally occurring hybrid of Semnopithecus johnii and Semnopithecus dussumieri.
The black-footed gray langur is distributed throughout south-western India (Goa, Karnataka and Kerala), but is centred on the Western Ghats. Its total range is around 35,000 km2 (14,000 sq mi), with the species living inside and outside of protected areas. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Plains Gray Langur sighting in Bandipur National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 10th most-seen of the 15 mammals we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Plains Gray Langur in Bandipur National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April–May, July, October and December, the lowest months. That is one of Bandipur National Park's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain against 210 mm in July.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Southern Plains Gray Langur sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Southern Plains Gray Langur sightings, Bandipur National Park ranks 2nd at about 30%. The best odds are in Nagarhole National Park (India, about 60%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Southern Plains Gray Langur is recorded against all the mammals logged in Bandipur National Park (11 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
