===Diet=== [[File:Gary Langur, RJ IN 2011.jpg|thumb|Gray Langur near a village in [[Rajasthan]]]] Gray langurs are primarily [[herbivore]]s. However, unlike some other colobines they do not depend on leaves and leaf buds of herbs, but will also eat [[conifer]]ous needles and cones, fruits and fruit buds, evergreen [[petiole (botany)|petioles]], shoots and roots, seeds, grass, [[bamboo]], [[fern]] rhizomes, [[moss]]es, and [[lichen]]s. Leaves of trees and shrubs rank at the top of preferred food, followed by herbs and grasses. Non-plant material consumed include spider webs, termite mounds and insect larvae.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Srivastava |first1=A. |title=Insectivory and its significance to langur diets |doi=10.1007/BF02381181 |journal=Primates |volume=32 |issue=2 |pages=237β241 |year=1991 |s2cid=32090680}}</ref> They forage on agricultural crops and other human foods, and even accept handouts.<ref name="Vogel 1977" /> Although they occasionally drink, langurs get most of their water from the moisture in their food.<ref name="r6" />
