The Gibbon
A white-handed gibbon will make its presence known to all by sounding off at its post in the Zoo’s Australia and The Islands area. While classified as creatures of the land, these Asian rainforest apes utilize their long arms to swing across the treetops, rarely reaching the forest floor.
The gibbons’ habitats endure numerous threats including loss for agriculture, road construction and oil palm plantations. You can do your part to save the gibbons and other Asian apes by investing in brands endorsed by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil.
