Trachypithecus cristatus, also known as the Silvered Leaf Monkey is an Old World monkey. It is arboreal, living in coastal, mangrove, and riverine forests in Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, and Borneo. The silvered leaf monkey is a specialist folivore, including a higher proportion of leaves in its diet than any other colobine monkey. Although it does also eat fruit, and some seeds and flowers, these comprise only 9% of the diet, and it is also able to feed on tougher and more mature leaves than any of its close relatives. Because of these differences, silvered leaf monkey do not normally live in the same parts of the forest as other monkeys. Where other species are found in the same area, silvered leaf monkey are more commonly found in the middle canopy of the forest, leaving the higher branches to monkeys with a more frugivorous diet.
