The golden langur __Trachypithecus geei__ is distributed in the west of the Indian state of Assam, as well as in Bhutan. The habitat of the species is tropical forests. The body length of the golden langur is from 50 to 70 cm, and the tail is from 70 to 90 cm, weight is from 9.5 to 12 kg. The coat color varies from cream to golden yellow, acquiring a reddish hue in winter. The dark muzzle is bordered by long hair, forming a crest typical of representatives of the genus on the upper side of the body. These primates lead a diurnal, arboreal lifestyle, living mainly in the upper tiers of the forest. They feed mainly on leaves and fruits, having multi-chambered stomachs for more efficient use of difficult-to-digest plant foods. The range of the species is mosaic and has been significantly reduced due to deforestation. Habitat destruction is the main threat to the species. Some of the habitats are currently under protection in India, but nevertheless this species of marmosets is considered endangered
