Yellow-cheeked gibbon — size comparison — facts and sources

The yellow-cheeked gibbon inhabits evergreen forests of southern Indochina. An adult male is black with pale yellowish cheeks, while an adult female usually has buff fur. The coat changes colour during maturation, so a young individual need not simply resemble an adult female or male.

Extremely long arms serve for movement below branches. It is diurnal and lives in a family group. Complex vocal duets help maintain contact and announce territorial occupancy. It eats mainly fruit, supplementing its diet with leaves, shoots and flowers. Mutual grooming maintains bonds, and it can walk bipedally when moving on supports.
