    Excellent species intro. It doesn't happen often that a new primate is added. Posted 12 years ago

      thanks. They have the most distinctive call, when the couple sing it is wonderful to heat but when a new one joins in different story Posted 12 years ago

The Siamang

The siamang is a tailless, arboreal, black-furred gibbon native to the forests of Malaysia, Thailand, and Sumatra. The largest of the lesser apes, the siamang can be twice the size of other gibbons, reaching 1 m in height, and weighing up to 14 kg. The siamang is the only species in the genus "Symphalangus".
