[edit] Description
This sentence: "Hanuman langurs are largely gray, with a black face, which is thought to relate to Hanuman, a monkey warrior from the Ramayana who burnt his hands and face trying to rescue Rama's wife. "
I can find nothing online that corroborates that reference. The Hanuman main article does not support it. There are mentions of Hanuman, the deity, being sentenced to having his tail burnt as punishment. Other (not so reliable) sources have Hanuman burning his face in the sun. Anyone got a source? --Rosetta1207 (talk) 15:42, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
- It took me awhile, but I've found one. I'll add it to the article. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:40, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
- Perfect. Thanks! --Rosetta1207 (talk) 16:52, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
Shouldn't this be re-written? This is the description section about the monkey - not a section to describe religious myths about the origin of it. Can we move it elsewhere to a Myths/Trivia/Cultures section? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.168.65.239 (talk) 13:38, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
