Social organization The
WHG is monogamous and maintains the social
proximity with neighboring groups of the same
species. He lives in a family system.
Each group varied from 2 to a
family of six (apart single individuals, called
“floating individuals”). Usually the
group is made up of 2-3 individuals which
comprises of an adult male, an adult female along
with one or more sub-adult/juvenile/infant.
The age and sex of an individual is
determined by the body size, body coat color,
eyebrows and other external characters. We can
make four distinct categories: infant (0-2 years),
juvenile (2-4 years), sub-adult (4-7 years) and
adult (>7 years).
