It primarily eats fruit, young leaves, and flowers, and also consumes bark and insects. Body length is about 40–50 cm, weight 2–4 kg, with a relatively long tail. Groups are multi-male multi-female of 3–12 individuals, communicating by scent, vocalizations, and grooming. Reproduction is seasonal; gestation is about 120 days and usually a single offspring is born. Populations are declining due to deforestation and hunting, and it is listed as Near Threatened.
