' Vegetarians sporting mutton chops? Welcome to Seattle, boys—you’ll fit right in! A family of François' Langurs has just moved into the zoo’s Trail of Vines and their distinguished looks and playful antics are turning heads...'  ( WPZ  Blog ) I could hardly wait to see these 6 new residents of the Woodland park Zoo - dad Ding and sons Ya Ya (5), Tang and Petey (4), Zhang ( 2.5) and Bouncy (2).  Today was my lucky day. Currently an endangered species, the  Langurs live in forests in China, Vietnam and Laos. It was obvious that these guys love being high up in the trees. They are indeed bouncy and full of energy.  Here are 12 pictures (taken through glass in brilliant sunlight).

Here's my first glimpse of one.  LOVE the head-fur!

What's the matter?  Haven't you ever seen a  François Langur before?  

I'm pretending to drive a car!


Hmmmm.  What have we here?


Anyone want a carrot?


Thanks - I might have one when I've finished my leaves.


Carrots!  Yum!


No need to be so gross about it, Ding!  Where are your manners?


Hey, these are pretty good!


Do you have any more...please?


You can share mine.


Life is good.
