| Abstract: | A birth during the day by a capped langur (Trachypithecus pileatus Blyth, 1843) was recorded at Pakhui Wildlife Sanctuary, Arunachal Pradesh, India. The birth took 43 min. Allomothering was observed 3 h after the birth. An average of 9% of daily active time was shared by four allomothers (three adults, one subadult) during the first 15 days of the infant s life. Total time allomothering was proportional to the age of the allomothers (241 min for oldest; 214 min for youngest). |
