EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1928, we are transported back to the London Zoo where a magnificent Northern Plains Gray Langur sits gracefully on a perch in its enclosure. The image, captured by Frederick William Bond, showcases the beauty and elegance of this old world monkey species. The langur's striking gray fur contrasts against the stark background, drawing our attention to its intricate features. With a side view that reveals its full length, we can appreciate the slender limbs and long tail that are characteristic of these primates. Its piercing gaze seems to hold secrets from distant lands as it gazes into the distance. Originating from the Indian subcontinent, this particular langur belongs to the Hanuman subspecies known for their association with Hindu mythology. As part of the Cercopithecidae family, they share similarities with other monkeys but possess their own distinct charm. This historical photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of our fascination with nature's wonders. It allows us to reflect on how far zoological practices have come since then while appreciating these incredible creatures that continue to captivate us today.
