    What a joy to meet someone else who knows of Hanuman. Was he one heckuva monkey, or what? I can still see him flying across the ocean seeking Sita in Lanka.

    The black-face langur monkeys in West Bengal, where I spent some time last year, are also known as Hanuman monkeys. They are very powerful, but relatively well-behaved. Here’s a photo link: http://bit.ly/wVMara

    I have some good video somewhere of them, which I’ll eventually post to my blog.
