Abstract
The adaptation of langur monkeys to a laboratory environment has made possible a detailed investigation of their digestive physiology. The diverticular form of the langur stomach permits a bacterial fermentation of the leafy diet, which results in important contributions to the nutrition of these primates. The demonstration of a ruminant-like digestion in langurs extends the known taxonomic distribution of this digestive adaptation.
