The month-old Javan langur monkey, named Malang, was born an amazing shade of yellow, in total contrast to her mother’s black coat.
She is the newest addition to the Javan langur group at Howletts Wild Animal Park and her apricot colour surprised the staff.
The species are commonly a shade of black but Malang lives up to her Latin name Trachypithecus auratus - as auratus means ’golden’

The long-tailed primates are listed as a vulnerable species and they face the same threats as other primates in Asia, including loss of habitat and hunting.
Javan langurs are native to the Indonesian islands of Java, Bali and Lombok - they can live to an age of around 20 years and grow to a height of 70cm.
