The langur park’s beloved (and haunted) building number 5 was demolished over a year ago to be replaced by modern new living quarters.   It was completed earlier this year, but the government seized it and resisted handing it over until recently.  We think the original inhabitants of building number 5 may have had a hand in the government’s change of heart.

The new building number 5 is a three-story structure with a wide-open rooftop.   Several days ago, a few langurs jumped onto the roof and played on it a bit, giving the Professor an idea: place some water on the roof to attract the langurs.  To facilitate access to the water, we set up a bamboo bridge connecting the roof to the surrounding forest.

That afternoon, the langurs came back, making immediate use of their new play equipment.

Only one brave soul made it all the way for a drink.
