• ... that cattle and deer sometimes stand under trees where southern plains gray langurs are feeding in order to consume the edible things the monkeys drop? Source: "In some areas, wild cattle and deer wait under arboreally feeding gray langurs and eat foods dropped by the primates "

• Hi Cwmhiraeth, review follows: 5x expansion confirmed from 22 May; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up any overly close paraphrasing during a spot check; hook is interesting to me, mentioned in the article and checks out to the source; one query with the hook, why have you used "edible things" and not "food"? a QPQ has been carried out - Dumelow (talk) 10:32, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

• @Dumelow: I guess the carelessly discarded things dropped are not considered as food by the monkey (husks, leaves, unripe fruit?), but are considered to be by the cattle down below. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:45, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Makes sense now - Dumelow (talk) 10:55, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

• As "things" is not descriptive or encyclopedic, I changed it to "pieces" in the article and hook. Yoninah (talk) 13:48, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
