Gibbons are rare, small, slender, long-armed, tree-dwelling apes. These very acrobatic primates live in southeast Asia. Gibbons are arboreal ; they spend most of their lives in trees. Because they are so dextrous while moving in the trees, almost no predators can catch them. There are nine species of gibbons, including the siamang , which is the largest and darkest gibbon. Because of the rapid deforestation of their habitats, gibbons are an endangered species.
ANATOMY
Gibbons are very small and lightweight. They have a small, round head, very long arms (the arms are longer than the legs), and a short, slender body. Gibbons have lightweight bones. Like all apes, they have no tail.
Hair
Gibbons are covered with light-colored to very dark brown ( or black) dense hair on most of their body (except their face, fingers, palms, armpits, and bottoms of their feet). Some species of gibbons have a white face ring, a band of white face completely surrounding their face.
Senses
Gibbons have senses very similar to ours, including hearing, sight (including color vision), smell, taste, and touch.

45. Gibbon Taxonomy To Be Utilized By Breeding Facilities

Gibbon Taxonomy to be Utilized by Breeding Facilities
Alan Mootnick Abstract Introduction Gibbons ( Hylobates ) are small, arboreal apes, inhabiting the tropical and semi-deciduous forests of Asia. They are distributed from Assam and Bangladesh in the northwest, eastward to Yunnan, Indochina, Thailand and the Malaysian Peninsula, and southward to the Indonesian and Malaysian islands. Adult gibbons weigh 5-15 kg and have long arms relative to their body size. Gibbons' pelage colors may vary within and between species, ranging from black to browns, grays, and buffs. With the exception of the siamang ( Hylobates syndactylus ), there is little sexual dimorphism in size, but some species do exhibit sex-specific color patterns. Gibbon systematics traditionally have been controversial and confusing. One of the purposes of zoos or other captive facilities is to breed gibbons so that species and subspecies diversity is retained. But the accurate identification of an individual gibbon may be complicated by 1) the variety of coat colors within some gibbon species, 2) the existence of different colors for the two sexes in some gibbon species, 3) the occurrence of coat color changes at sexual maturity for some gibbon species, 4) the impact of malnutrition and housing (e.g. indoors only or in full sunlight) on coloration, 5) the ease with which some gibbon species' songs are confused, 6) the difficulty with which some gibbon subspecies are distinguished, 7) and a dearth of information on the individual gibbon's origins who were confiscated. Given these problems, it is not surprising that zoos and other breeding facilities may encounter difficulties in the identification of gibbons.

The Foraging Behavior Enrichment of Primates in Taipei Zoo
Ci Wen Yang and Chien-Jen Yang
Abstract
This paper describes the foraging environmental enrichment programs designed to stimulate natural behavior of gorillas, chimpanzees and fat-tailed lemurs in Taipei Zoo. These experiments have resulted in the extension of their feeding time and increase their social interaction.
Introduction
Environment enrichment is an important and adopted zoo management tool for the captive primates in modern zoos. In order to promote animal conservation education, we invited Dr Hunthius, the conservation and science director of the American Zoo Association, with his group of animal behavior researchers to conduct a workshop ‘The application of behavior study in animal management’ in 1992. A series of programs were initiated to enrich the animal behavior. With the operation of some key elements within the captive environment, including foraging and management design, the natural behavior of the animals was stimulated to reduce the occurrence of abnormal behavior. This report is the study results of primates.

The primates are typically thought of as acrobatic monkeys or impressive gorillas. However, the 181 species in the order Primata represent a very diverse group. The Dwarf bush baby weighs a mere 3.5 ounces, while the gorilla can weigh over 220 pounds. Almost all primates are located in the tropical band around the equator. The diet of the various primates is also diverse. Some eat primarily fruit, while others eat leaves or insects. Still others are omnivorous , meaning they eat both meat and plants.

White-cheeked Gibbon
Hylobates concolor
Also Called: Black Gibbon or Crested Gibbon
Amazing Balance (337 KB) The white-cheeked gibbon has extremely long arms and legs. The male is usually black and the female is a lighter color, often with black patches. They have patches of lighter fur on their cheeks, though this is hard to distinguish on the female. White-cheeked gibbons also have a group of erect hairs (a crest) on the top of their heads. They possess an opposable thumb that is used for climbing or grooming but not for swinging from branch to branch. White-handed gibbons usually move in this manner and can cover horizontal distances of 40 feet and vertical of 50 feet in one swing. They launch themselves and freefall until they catch another branch. They can move bipedally along branches or on the ground using their arms for balance. White-cheeked gibbons eat fruits, leaves and some insects.

GRAY The Associated Press DEY AMBIL, Cambodia (AP) Within eyesight of a sign urging "Don't sell wildlife," a roadside vendor is peddling four slow lorises little primates with sad luminous eyes to be burned alive and churned into purported Chinese medicine. A gibbon, says Sem Sovan, can be ordered for $200 and delivered while customers wait at his ramshackle hut, squirming with snakes, mynah birds and other illegal "products" from nearby Kirirom National Park. Once an Eden for primates, Cambodia along with neighboring Vietnam and Laos, are being rapidly emptied of these creatures by meat poachers, traditional medicine merchants and villagers encroaching on their ranges.

Once an Eden for primates, Cambodia, along with neighbouring Vietnam and Laos, is being rapidly emptied of these creatures by meat poachers, traditional medicine merchants and villagers encroaching on their ranges. Remarkably, not a single species of primates, man's closest relative in the animal kingdom, was lost in the last century. But global extinction is looming, and it is likely to occur first in Indochina, says Frank Momberg of Fauna and Flora International.

    Prion Genes in Primates
    Prusiner et al. JMB 258813-261996 Variations in the PrP gene sequences of apes Variations in the PrP gene sequences of old-world monkeys For the seven new-world monkey species studied, 34 to 39 nucleotide exchanges were found resulting in seven to ten amino acid substitutions compared to humans (Table 1). Within this group, the PrP gene of the spider monkey showed the greatest sequence identity with human PrP when the deletions were not considered. It is noteworthy that fewer exchanges were present around the first putative helical region than in old-world monkeys, with the important exception of position 112 (M : V). Group specific variations were seen at codon 170, where the marmoset, tamarin and spider monkeys have an S : N substitution that is identical with that found in three subspecies of hamsters. At codon 182, the squirrel monkey has an I : V substitution that lies within the third putative a-helical region; at codon 205, the Aotes monkey has an M : I substitution that lies within the fourth putative a-helical region and is the same as that found in sheep. Variations in octarepeat structures Clustering of non-human primate variations in the PrP gene Phylogenetic relationships deduced from PrP sequences Distribution of variant amino acids Approximately one third of the residues in PrP were found to vary among mammals (Table 2). The distribution of variant amino acids was examined for different regions of PrP. Within the primates, most of the variation in the PrP sequence (18%) is within the N-terminal region (codons 1 to 90) while the variation in the C-terminal region (codons 221 to 253) was considerably lower (3%). In contrast, variations in the N and C-terminal regions for all species were 38% and 36%, respectively. The variation in the central region of PrP (codons 91 to 220) was 12% for residues in primates and 22% for all species. Combining the data for all species, 52% of the residues varied within the N-terminal (codons 1 to 22) and the C-terminal (codons 232 to 253) peptides that are cleaved off as mature PrP C is formed. The same peptides in primates varied at only 7% of the residues.
