12. Common Langur, Kanha National Park, Madhya Pradesh
An interesting relationship has been observed with Chital, which
apparently benefit from the langurs' good eyesight and ability to post
a lookout in a treetop, helping to raise the alarm when a predator
approaches. For the langurs' part, the Chital's superior sense
of smell would seem to assist in early predator warning.
