Abstract

The Hanuman langur populace in Jodhpur city is very much concentrated in most recent multi year. During present investigation one abrupt occupant male substitution in a unimale indiscriminate troop at Mandore (B-8), Jodhpur (India) has been recorded.

The new Alpha male was progressively forceful a considerable lot of the time after these assaults.
