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 infantrsquos life. Total time allomothering was proportional to the age of the allomothers (241 min for oldest; 214 min for youngest).
Keywords:Capped langur  Parturition  Post-partum  Neonate  Allomothering
