“The Douc can be called “A Casualty of War.” When these monkeys want to mate, they wiggle their eyebrows. Their long tails are not prehensile. A non-prehensile tail is a trait of Old Work monkeys. It does have a multi-chambered stomach. It needs this to break down the cellulose of all the leaves it eats.
