BARRIER DESIGNS FOR ZOOS iii) Chain link mesh open air enclosures of 5.5m height with 1m steel plate over hang can be provided. This will reduce cost of construction and structure shall be simple and can care large vegetated patches. However, care should be taken to see that the branches are not close to the fence. Bonet monkies, stump tailed monkies, Asamese macaques and Crab-eating monkeys can have enclosures of similar dimensions. 3.4.2 Lion-tailed Macaque Nature of the animal The Lion-tailed macaque inhabits the dense evergreen tropical forests of the Western Ghats. With a well developed whitish grey mane on its face and a tail with tuffs of hair at the end, like that of a lion, the Lion-tailed macaque has aptly earned its name. These monkeys are gregarious, living in troops of 10-20. They are diurnal in habit; they rarely come to the ground.

3.4.3 Langur (Common, Capped, Golden) Nature of the Animal Analysis of Barrier Dimensions 41 CENTRAL ZOO AUTHORITY Langurs live in forests, haunt shady groves around temples and make themselves quite at home in town and villages. They are pure vegetarian and feed on a variety of fruits, berries, buds and leaves. They spend much of their time on trees. Long–limbed and long tailed, they are extremely agile and make great leaps with extreme precision. Langurs live in groups comprising of 15-30 individuals of both sexes and all ages. It is suggested to provide 5m wide and 4.6m deep dry moats on the visitors’ side. The rear barrier can be a rubble wall of 5m height, if moat is not feasible. The Capped langur can also be providing with enclosure of same moat dimension as suggested for common langurs.
