	Gibbon - MSN Encarta
		Gibbons mate with only one female; the young, born singly, remain with the family group until they are five or six years old.
		The silvery gibbon, or wou-wou, of Java is ashy grey; the whitehanded gibbon, or lar, of the Malay Peninsula is distinguished by its white hands and feet and its musical howl.
		The silvery gibbon is classified as Hylobates moloch, the whitehanded gibbon as Hylobates lar.

	Silvery Gibbon - Hylobates moloch
		High in the treetops of the scattered remains of the island of Java's rainforests, a silvery gibbon female sings a morning song before she and her family move off to spend the day foraging for fruit.
		Silvery gibbons have small, stable territories of about 42 acres (17 ha) and the female will sing her song bout several times during the day to declare their territory.
		Silvery gibbons are not found in mangrove rainforest, or above 4,800 feet (1600 m) above sea level.

	Javan Silvery Gibbon (Hylobates moloch)
		The few groups of gibbons that inhabit a patch of mixed lowland rain forest in the extreme south-east of the peninsula are border groups of the gibbon population from the adjoining area 2.
		Thus, in this section, the estimation of the population numbers of the silvery gibbon is preceded by the determination of the forest area inhabited by the species and by the estimation of its population density.
		Estimates of the population numbers of the silvery gibbon were obtained by multiplying the density scores determined for the census areas by the corresponding total areas of forest inhabited by the species.

	Acrobatic Ape in Java Is in High-Wire Survival
		While potentially significant for the long-term survival of silvery gibbons, the research also shows the way genetic, demographic, behavioral and ecological studies are increasingly being used to understand the relationships among groups of animals th at have become fragmented and genetically isolated through habitat loss and other human activities.
		Gibbons are e asy prey for people and dogs when they try to cross farms, she added, and an illegal pet trade further depletes their numbers.
		The genetic split in silvery gibbons is ancient enough, at 100,000 years, that the scientists have recommended against a plan to mix the western and central populations unless there is no other way to preserve the species.

	Silvery Gibbon
		The Silvery Gibbon (''Hylobates moloch'') is a primate in the Hylobatidae or gibbon family.
		The Silvery Gibbon lives exclusively on the island of Java, where it inhabits deeply hidden portions of the rain forests.
		The Silvery Gibbon ranks among the most threatened primates, since the island of Java is very closely settled the natural range of the species is pushed into ever smaller areas.

	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).

	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.

	Silvery Gibbon
		Gibbons are able to walk on the ground if they need to, and they walk on two legs, holding their arms up above their heads to help balance.
		The average weight for an adult Silvery Gibbon is approximately 13 pounds (6 kg), and the males and females are very similar in appearance and size.
		Gibbons are born essentially hairless with only a small tuft of hair on the top of their heads.

	Fact sheet: Yellow-cheeked crested gibbon, Nomascus gabriellae
		Like other gibbons, the silvery is an arboreal and a diurnal species, and like other gibbons, it prefers the upper canopy of the forest, and sleeps and rests in emergent trees (Leighton, 1987).
		In most gibbon species the adult pair combine their songs by vocalising together in sequence, but the silvery gibbon is one of only two species that does not duet.
		Adult gibbons typically live in the crown region of the forest where they have no natural predators except man. In the lower stories of the forest leopards and pythons may be potential predators of the gibbons (Whitten et al., 1996).

		Gibbons are also called "lesser apes", indicating their close relationship to the "great apes", including Chimpanzees, Bonobos, Gorillas and Orang-utans.
		The arms of Gibbons are the longest among all primates.
		The length of their arms enables Gibbons to move in a way, which is optimal in the top of the trees and can be described as "swinging hand over hand".

		The moloch gibbon is a true brachiator which means it moves by suspensory behavior (Fleagle, 1988).

		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.

	Gibbon and Siamang Information
		Gibbons are small apes that are traditionally grouped in the genus Hylobates, and they are further divided into four subgenera based on their diploid chromosome number: Hylobates (44), Bunopithecus (38), Nomascus (52), and Symphalangus (50).
		The Gibbons are also called lesser apes, and differ from great apes (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 the great apes do.
		The White-cheeked Gibbon and the Hoolock Gibbon are very much in danger, mainly because of loss of habitat".

		The Silvery Gibbon Project, based in Perth, Western Australia is a voluntary group of concerned individuals working for the conservation of the Silvery Gibbon (Hylobates Moloch) and its habitat on Java.
		The Silvery (or Javan) Gibbon has already lost 98% of its original habitat on the Indonesian island of Java, and with the human population of 140 million, the pressure on the remaining forest is extreme.
		Since the foundation of the Silvery Gibbon Project in 1991, we have funded a scientific survey, assisted with scientific meetings, constructed an entrance gate and hiking trail in Gunung Halimun National Park, and in partnership with Conservation International have recently begun construction of the Javan Gibbon Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre.
