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 →

Likely
About 60% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Plains Gray Langur sighting in Nagarhole National Park on a given day, based on 46 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 6th most-seen of the 15 mammals we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and November
In those months about 80% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Plains Gray Langur in Nagarhole National Park on a given day, against about 40% in October, the lowest month. Those are among Nagarhole National Park's driest months, with about 55 mm of rain a month against 270 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.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Southern Plains Gray Langur sightings, Nagarhole National Park has the highest daily chance: about 60%. Next come Bandipur National Park (India, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Southern Plains Gray Langur is recorded against all the mammals logged in Nagarhole National Park (46 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.
