- The popa langur differs from other known species in the color of its fur, the length of its tail, and the dimensions of its skull.
- It’s a beautiful furry gray monkey with bright white markings around its eyes like spectacles. The popa langur has a dark brown or tan back, white belly, and black hands and feet.
- It has prominent white rings around the eyes and the snout. Like other langur monkeys, popa langurs have slender bodies with long tails.
