	Agile Gibbon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Agile Gibbon ( Hylobates agilis), also known as the Black-handed Gibbon, is a primate in the Hylobatidae or gibbon family.
		Agile Gibbons reach an average weight of 5.5 kg and a length of 40 to 60 cm.
		The range of the Agile Gibbons is Southeast Asia, primarily the island Sumatra (but not the north part of the island), the southwest of the island of Borneo as well as a small area on the Malay Peninsula.

	Hylobates
		Hylobates agilis unko, the lowland agile gibbon, is highly threatened and indigenous to eastern Sumatra and the northern peninsula of Malaysia.
		Hylobates lar, white-handed gibbon, are native to the forests of Myanmar, Thailand, Yunnan, Malaysia and Sumatra.
		Northern Mueller's gibbon is dark gray or gray-brown with fl to flish-brown cap, ventrum, throat, inner aspects of the limbs, and genitals.

	Gibbon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gibbons are small apes that are grouped in the family Hylobatidae.
		One unique aspect of gibbon physiology is that the wrist is comprised of a ball and socket joint, allowing for biaxial movement.
		Gibbons are masters of their primary mode of locomotion, brachiation, allowing them to swing from branch to branch distances of up to 50 feet, at speeds as much as 35 mph.

	MSN Encarta - Ape
		Gibbons are similar to monkeys, with lithe, slender bodies and extremely agile movements.
		Gibbons live in rain forests and seasonal forests of India, Indochina, and the Malay Archipelago.
		Gibbons have long fur of one color on the body and short fur of a contrasting color surrounding the face.

	The Great Apes - Animals Of The World
		The Gibbons form somewhat of a connecting link between the true anthropoid apes and the lower monkeys, in that like the former they are practically tail-less and without cheek pouches, but on the other hand, unlike them, they have small callosities on the hindquarters.
		Gibbons are characterised by small, rounded heads and large eyes, and have very long arms by which they swing from tree to tree with the greatest agility.
		The Gibbons are practically tree-living forms, seldom coming to the ground at all except under dire necessity, living on fruits and insects, and even on birds which they are able to catch on the wing in their flying leaps.

	Gibbon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Gibbons are small apes that are traditionally grouped in the genus Hylobates, and they are further divided into four subgenera basedon their diploid chromosome number: Hylobates (44), Bunopithecus (38), Nomascus (52), and Symphalangus (50).
		The Gibbons are also called lesser apes, and differ from greatapes ( chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans and humans) in being smaller,generally monogamous, in not making nests, and in certain anatomical details in which they more closely resemble monkeys than thegreat apes do.

	Javan Silvery Gibbon (Hylobates moloch)
		Territory maintenance in the moloch gibbon is based on a distinctive sex-specific division of labour between the adult pair; the female engaging in a non-directed expression of intolerance, the male in actual directed aggression.
		As is true of other gibbon taxa, the moloch gibbon lives in monogamous family groups which limit nearly all of their daily ranging to their territories fixed areas from which neighbouring groups and other intruders are repelled.
		Thus in the moloch gibbon, territoriality seems to be based on a neat sex-specific division of labour: the female engaging in non-directed broadcasting of potential aggression (towards all other conspecifics in the area), the male in actual directed aggressive behaviour (towards animals which have entered the territory).

		Gibbons are arboreal apes indigenous to Southeast Asia and are highly endangered, with only 13 species known to exist in the wild.
		The shrinking forest contributes to the plight of the lowland agile gibbon and Sumatran siamang populations, whose survival depends on their habitat.
		In addition, gibbons are one of the few monogamous primate species and live in nuclear families consisting of a mated couple and their young offspring, marking their territory by a song unique to each family group.

	All About Gibbons - EnchantedLearning.com
		Gibbons are covered with light-colored to very dark brown ( or fl) dense hair on most of their body (except their face, fingers, palms, armpits, and bottoms of their feet).
		Gibbons drink water, often by dipping a furry hand into the water or rubbing a hand on wet leaves, and then slurping up the water from their fur.
		Gibbons can also leap acrobatically across large gaps in the tree canopy from tree branch to tree branch; gibbons have been known to leap over 30 feet (9 m) in a single jump.

	Gibbon Center Home
		GCC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit facility; established by Alan Richard Mootnick in 1977 for the study, propagation, conservation and betterment of the highly endangered small ape, the gibbon; and for the education of the public about the plight of this fascinating primate.
		Gibbon Conservation Center is to prevent the extinction of this small SE Asian ape, and to advance its study, propagation and conservation by establishing secure captive gene pools in case attempts to preserve species or subspecies in the wild fail.
		The purpose of this website is to emphasize the endangerment of gibbons and their unique behavioral and ecological adaptations.

		Gibbons are highly territorial and use their musical calls to mark their territory.
		Gibbons are found mainly in South-east Asia, but extend as far north as Yunnan Province in China, west to Assam state, India, and south across the Malay Peninsula to Indonesia, including Borneo.
		Due to violent political upheavals, the fragmented populations of the Javan gibbon are increasingly hunted.

		The only time a gibbon will go to the boundaries of itÕs territory is to protect itÕs territory from other gibbons or apes such as Orang Utans, who usually live near by.
		Each species of hylobates is separated from the otherÕs habitat except for the siamang which overlaps itÕs habitat with that of the lar and agile gibbon, hylobates agilis.
		Gibbons, with the exception of the siamang which is completely fl, are a variety of colors with white fur on its hands, feet and around the face.

		Gibbons and Siamang live in the canopy and rarely descend to the ground.
		All gibbons and siamang are monogamous, and their social group is based on a mated pair and their offspring, averaging 3-4 members.
		Many gibbon species have babies which are almost white as newborns and take on adult colours only at 2-4 years, usually the females changing colour.

		Already the first gibbon study on a wild lar population by a pioneer primatologist, Charles Ray Carpenter (1940), became the classical model of our understanding of hylobatid social organization.
		Carpenter’s findings of gibbon monogamy were confirmed and extended by Ellefson’s (1974) more intensive field work on the same species.
		For more than five decades a simple, static picture of gibbon monogamy dominated our understanding of these Asian apes’; social lives, but views of mandatory nuclear families and sociosexually monogamous pairs are changing since extra-pair copulations (EPCs) and partner changes have been observed in wild populations (e.g.
