Sri Lanka serves as the native origin for the purple-faced langur. This unique monkey remains endemic to the island. Populations inhabit closed canopy forests within mountains and southwestern wet zones.

Densely populated lowland rainforests areas cover the primary territory. Colonies also survive in suburban Colombo and wet zone villages.

High temperatures and intense humidity affect the local villages all year. Rapid urbanization decreases available forest habitat significantly.

A folivorous diet serves them very well. Individuals eat young leaves, flowers, and seeds. Troops normally avoid human habitations.

Cultivated fruits contribute up to fifty percent of seasonal nutrition in developed areas. They love jak fruit, rambutan, bananas, and mangoes. Mothers give birth to one single baby a year.

Shy behavioral traits characterize this long-tailed arboreal species. Adults have brown bodies with dark faces. Lower jaw areas appear palter. Males grow larger than females.

Fur colors vary from black to gray. Monkeys have white to gray short trousers. Purple-black faces feature prominent white sideburns. White fur covers part of the lower back. Mixed black and white colors cover the entire tail. Hand and feet have purple-black skin.
