The Black-shanked Douc ("Pygathrix nigripes ") is an endangered species of douc found in forests of Vietnam and Cambodia. It is unique among the doucs in having a largely greyish-blue face. [http://www.arkive.org/species/GES/mammals/Pygathrix_nigripes/ Black-shanked douc (Pygathrix nigripes).] ARKive. Accessed 2008-07-21] A recent report by the Wildlife Conservation Society counted 42,000 black-shanked douc langurs in Cambodia’s Seima Biodiversity Conservation Area. Prior to the recent discovery in the Seima Biodiversity Conservation Area, the largest known populations were believed to be in adjacent Vietnam, where black-shanked douc langurs hover at 600. The total population of the species remains unknown. [ [http://newswise.com/articles/view/543861/ Unexpected Large Monkey Population Discovered] Newswise, Retrieved on August 28, 2008.]
