Hello Mr.Thiruvengadam I want to share an interesting account about the observation posted by you. A similar observation has been recorded by Writer Late Venkatesh Madgulkar in his marathi book 'Nagzira' in a chapter regarding Hanuman Langurs. Shri Venkatesh Madgulkar was stationed in Nagzira for a month(somewhere around 1979) and the book is based on his experiences. He mentions that Hanuman Langoors eat & lick the barks of Anjan - Memecylon umbellatum. The tree in the image posted by you doesn't seem to be Anjan from the trunk profile. Nevertheless it appears to be habitual of langoors to eat and lick the sap from the tree barks. Thanks for sharing. It would be indeed interesting to have similar postings on plant and mammals/birds/insects/butterfly interactions. best regards Adittya Dharap

I saw the same at three different places in that forest. This is new to me, and interested to know, eating the bark because of non-availably of other food or what is the scientific reason?.
