The '''black-footed gray langur''' ('''''Semnopithecus hypoleucos''''') is an [[Old World monkey]], one of the species of [[langur]]s. Found in southern India, this, like other [[gray langur]]s, is a [[leaf-eating]] monkey.<br />
<br />
==Taxonomy==<br />
{{unreferenced section|date=July 2025}}<br />
The black-footed gray langur was previously considered to be a subspecies of ''[[Semnopithecus entellus]]''. Research done in 2003 by Brandon-Jones may indicate that it is a subspecies of ''[[Semnopithecus dussumieri]]''. Some experts believe that the species may be a naturally occurring hybrid of ''[[Semnopithecus johnii]]'' and ''[[Semnopithecus dussumieri]]''. Currently ''S. dussumieri'' is considered a junior synonym of the black-footed gray langur.<br />
<br />
==Distribution==<br />
{{unreferenced section|date=July 2025}}<br />
This black-footed gray langur is distributed throughout south-western India ([[Goa]], [[Karnataka]] and [[Kerala]]), but is centred on the [[Western Ghats]]. Its total range is around {{cvt|35,000|km2}}, with the species living inside and outside of protected areas.<br />
