Abstract
Primatology is a subject and it is the study of non-human and human primates. It is a diverse discipline and primatologists can be found in departments of biology, anthropology and psychology. Study of primate behaviour is vital for giving us hints to the possible behaviours of our ancestors. The name “langur” originates from the Sanskrit langulin, “having a long tail”, and the “Hanuman” from monkey- god and loyal Servant to King Ram in Hindu mythology. Provisioning can have a big end product of conflict with human and play key roll on the behaviour of animals something that has been widely documented among primates.
