	Gibbon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gibbons are the small apes that are grouped in the family Hylobatidae.
		Gibbons are masters of their primary mode of locomotion, brachiation, swinging from branch to branch distances of up to 15 m (50 ft), at speeds as much as 56 km/h (35 mph).
		Gibbons have the typical nose of catarrhine primates with nostrils that are close together and face forward and slightly downward.

	ADW: Hylobates pileatus: Information
		Pileated gibbons are found in rainforest habitats, including semideciduous monsoon forests, mixed deciduous and evergreen forests, and tropical evergreen forests throughout their range.
		Pileated gibbons are true brachiators, they move through the trees by swinging and leaping 10 meters or more with their long arms (Fleagle, 1988).
		Pileated gibbons drink water by immersing their hands into water or against wet leaves and then licking the water from their fur.

	Wikipedia: Gibbon
		Gibbons are small apes traditionally grouped in the genus Hylobates, though at least some authorities now divide them into four genera: Hylobates, Bunopithecus, Nomascus, and Symphalangus.
		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.
		Most species are threatened or endangered, and the most important reason is degradation or loss of their forest habitat.

	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.

		Many gibbons are hard to identify based on fur coloration and are identified either by song or genetics.
		The hybrid offspring were sent to other gibbon breeders and led to further hybridization in captive gibbons.
		Within-genus hybrids also occur in wild gibbons where the ranges overlap (Agile Gibbons and Pileated Gibbons x Lar Gibbons, Agile Gibbons x Müller's Bornean Gibbon, Yellow-cheeked Gibbons x Northern White-cheeked Gibbons).

		The Pileated Gibbon is one of four members of the family Hylobatidae represented in Thailand.
		Regarding estimating the Pileated Gibbon populations in Thailand, densities have only been crudely estimated from protected areas overlapping the species' range, utilizing spot surveys or censuses over a 15-year period (Brockelman and Srikosamatara, 1993).
		For to this, Brockelman and his colleagues calculated estimates of habitat and population numbers for wild Pileated Gibbons by measuring the size of the forest, then estimating the extent and type of available habitat within each forest, and multiplying that figure by estimated gibbon densities for different habitats (Brockelman et al., 1994).
