But the pictures that came back suprised them all , groups of monkeys nobody have ever seen.With no photographs of the grizzled langurs in existence, was a challenge to confirm their species. said Brent Loken, a Phd student at Simon Fraser University in Canada, and one of the lead researchers. THe only pictures that useto be there were museum sketches. The monkey has hooded eyes and a pinkish nose and lips was said to be extinct a few years ago.
