#Red-shanked Douc

WIP Day 2+More

So I got too tired to finish the Day 2 prompt, I will finish it tomorrow obviously, but I thought I might as well share what I have plus an OC I made. (Last one is the Day 2 WIP)

I'm not someone who usually makes OCs so Sumi is probably the first one in a long time that I made. She's a young adult Red-shanked Douc. I'm still thinking of where to place her in the JTTW universe or what universe to even put her in.

Red-shanked Douc (Pygathrix nemaeus)

Habitat & Distribution

They reside mainly in tropical rainforests

Native to southeast Asia, specifically Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia

Physical Description

Weight: Between 8.6–11.4 kilograms (19–25 lb) for males, and 6.6–10.5 kilograms (15–23 lb) for females

Height: 55–82 centimetres (22–32 in); females tend to be slightly shorter

The base color of the red-shanked douc is silver, covering both the head and body; the shoulders are black, and the chest and limbs are russet brown

The face is golden, and framed by a whispy white mane

Like most monkeys, the red-shanked douc has a long tail which is used mainly for balance

Behaviour

Spends most of its time in the canopy foraging for buds, young leaves, and fruit

Red-shanked doucs live in groups of up to 50 individuals, with hierarchies for both males and females

The main predator is humans, although birds of prey and large felids

Key Advantages

Red-shanked doucs are fast and agile climbers

Despite their coloration, they are adept at hiding among the dense foliage of the canopy

i'm here on monkey business

YASSSS

You're gonna sit there while I talk about the Red-shanked Douc and you're gonna LIKE IT!

Obviously, step one is to show a bunch of pictures of them

This is BY FAR!!!! The prettiest primate in existence! Look at them! Red grey color pallet with orange accents and blue eyeliner?!??! I want to hold her. I want to be her.

She's prettier than every person in this room and the hottest model you can think of!

They are Old World Monkeys! They have Society! They have four chambered stomachs!

Their nickname is the Queen of Primates! And like,, YEAH! Look at her! Queen shit!

(calling the species her for fun, it isn't just the males who are bright and pretty, their sexual dimorphism is fairly minor)

They are less aggressive than a lot of other species of primate.

I love them so much I made a character this species!

This is The Oracle, she speaks for the gods! She wears a wok on her head! She speaks in riddles, has social anxiety, and has a tendency to teleport! Sometimes uses divination to answer personal or simple questions.

I made,,, monkei,,

I originally made these two for a challenge but forgot part of the challenge itself and messed up Reza's design so I just gave up and made these two their own things :)

Perhaps I'll share their lore someday......

Long before we were anywhere near it’s enclosure, we can hear the loud calls of the Siamangs (Symphalangus syndactylus). The largest of the gibbons, the siamang can be twice the size of other gibbons, reaching 1 m (3.3 ft) in height, and weighing up to 14 kg (31 lb).

Seeing a small crowd ahead of us, we took a shortcut by walking over the bouncy nettings to the other side. Two male Red-shanked Douc Langurs (Pygathrix nemaeus) were sitting on the railing posing for the cameras and handphones. They looked like old men in grey suit, brown pants and white sleeve.

Red-shanked douc (Pygathrix nemaeus)

This fabulous-looking species is found in tropical, sometimes mountainous forests of Southeast Asia. They eat mostly leaves, and have a multi-chambered stomach which allows them to ferment their food, like a ruminant!

The tree-dwelling red-shanked douc is known for its colorful maroon "stockings" that stretch from the ankles to the knees.
