EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image showcases the skull of Trachypithecus delacouri, also known as Delacour's langur, a species of Old World monkey native to Southeast Asia. The skull, catalogued as specimen number 32.4.19, belongs to a male individual and was captured in this precise and detailed studio shot against a black background. Trachypithecus delacouri is a medium-sized primate, belonging to the family Cercopithecidae and the subfamily Colobinae. It is characterized by its long premaxillary bones, which house the incisors, and its broad, flat palate, which is an adaptation for its herbivorous diet. The skull also reveals the large orbits, indicative of the monkey's excellent vision, and the prominent brow ridges, which are typical of haplorhine primates. This specimen is an important addition to the anatomical record of Trachypithecus delacouri, providing valuable insights into the anatomy and evolutionary history of this fascinating primate. The monkey's taxonomic classification includes its placement within the order Primates, the class Mammalia, the subclass Theria, the infraorder Simiiformes, the superorder Primates, the parvorder Cercopithecoidea, and the family Cercopithecidae. Delacour's langur is a placental mammal, meaning that it develops inside its mother's womb and is nourished by the placenta during gestation. It is also an eutherian, meaning that it is a warm-blooded mammal that gives live birth to fully developed young. This skull provides a glimpse into the intricate and complex biology of this remarkable primate, highlighting its role as a valuable contribution to the field of primatology and comparative anatomy.
