Extractions: This species has relatively long forearms which assist it in suspensory behavior . This species has throat sac located beneath the chin to help enhance the calls. The white-handed gibbon lacks a tail, caudal vertebrae. The average body mass for an adult male white-handed gibbon is around 5.7 kilograms, and for the female it is around 5.3 kilograms. Pelage color for this species ranges from dark brown to beige.

Extractions: Gibbon Islands On April 21, 2001 Nashville Zoo opened Gibbon Islands to the public, officially introducing apes to the park. At the time of the opening the exhibit hosted two different species of apes; siamang gibbons and white-handed gibbons. The exhibit is now host to siamang gibbons and white-cheeked gibbons. Considered the crown jewel of the Zoo's Entry Village, Gibbon Islands are two beautifully landscaped hills complete with trees (some as high as 60 feet), shrubs, grass and boulders. The two islands are actually two buildings buried with tons of soil and rock and surrounded by a 4-foot deep moat giving guests an unobstructed view of the primates. Like most primate species, gibbons will not enter the water so the moat will keep the apes in their exhibit. Gibbons comprise a family of primates commonly called "Lesser Apes". These active primates live almost exclusively in trees and rarely descend to the ground. With their arms primarily used for travel, gibbons use their feet to carry food and other objects. White-cheeked gibbons ( Hylobates concolor leucogenys ) are found in Vietnam, Laos, southeastern China and eastern Cambodia. Adults weigh up to 12.5 pounds and stand 18 to 25 inches tall. Coat color varies with gender in this species; male is black with lighter cheeks while female is buff, sometimes with black patches.

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: White-handed gibbons are small, tailless apes with dense, shaggy fur ranging from black to pale gray. Their face is bare and surrounded by a white fringe. White-handed gibbons have long, slender arms and the upper part of their hands and feet is always white. 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. When doing so, white-handed gibbons raise their arms above their heads for balance. White-handed gibbons are diurnal and usually take a rest break during the hottest part of the day.

Extractions: HOME ABOUT US OBJECTIVES PROGRAMMES ... PUBLICATIONS Gibbon Conservation Project Hoolock Gibbon ( Bunopithecus hoolock hoolock ) is the only species of ape to be found in India . The evergreen and semi-evergreen forests of the seven states of Northeastern region are natural habitats of this endangered species in India. Being a true arboreal species, Hoolock gibbon depends on high canopy for its survival. A number of threats like habitat destruction; habitat fragmentation and alteration, hunting etc. have been identified for the species all along its distribution range in India, the primary being the loss of natural habitat. The Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary in Jorhat District of Assam is the only protected area in India to be named after a primate species. The sanctuary with an area of 20.98 hectare is situated at 26°40" to 26°45" N and 94°20" to 94°25" E and is located in the south bank of the Great Brahmaputra river system .The sanctuary which harbors seven species of primates including Hoolock Gibbon has been declared mainly for the conservation of Hoolock Gibbon. Keeping in view the importance of GWLS as a stronghold of Hoolock gibbon, a program under the title "Conservation of Hoolock Gibbon through Education, Awareness and Socio-economic development of the fringe area community in Gibbon Wild Life Sanctuary, Assam, India" was launched. The program was supported by US Fish and Wildlife Service (GACF).

Extractions: Primates Common Tree Shrew: Tupaia olis / South African Region Tree shrews are at the bottom of the primate ladder, being very generalized. Their lack of specialization can be demonstrated by many features, such as their tooth structure and having claws on all digits. The narrow bar of bone behind the eye socket and the location of the eye on the side of the head is also primitive for a primate. Due to their many primitive characteristics, tree shrews are sometimes classified as insectivores rather than primates. Senegal Bushbaby Galago senegalensis / Africa Galagos have many advancements and adaptations not found in tree shrews. One advancement is the replacement of claws by nails on all digits except the second toes. Another advancement is that the eyes face more forward than those of the tree shrew. The bushbabies have adapted to a life in the trees with a specialization for jumping. Some species are said to be able to jump forty feet. This phenomenal ability is partly due to leverage gained by the elongation of the ankle bones (calcaneus and navicular). Patas Monkey Erethrocebus patas / Africa The Patas monkeys, like nearly all monkeys, apes and man have nails on all digits. Their eyes face forward and are in well-developed sockets. Their fore and hind limbs are about equal in length, which is an unspecialized condition; this enhances their ability to progress on all fours whether on the ground, or in the trees.

Extractions: GIBBON VIDEO NOTES (with a note on C.R.Carpenter) (revised, 3/03/04) 1 Clarence Ray Carpenter Carpenter, C. R. (1940). A field study of the behavior and social relations of the gibbon (Hylobates lar ). Comparative Psychology Monographs 5), 1-212. (Reprinted in Carpenter, C. R. (1964) Naturalistic behavior of nonhuman primates . University Park: Pennsylvania State University Press. Carpenter was a comparative psychologist. His research, earlier with pigeons, then monkeys, concerned sexuality and social relationships. His gibbon work was supported by a private foundation (as was all research in those days)The Committee for Research in Problems of Sex. Robert Yerkes had been chairman of this committee and supported Carpenter's research. (See Haraway, 1989, pp.70-71 and ch. 5) His last work was on control of aggression. Previously the "Committee" had looked to "primitive" human cultures to learn about the original human condition regarding sex but this came to be seen as hopeless. Non-human primates seemed more promising. Carpenter's views fit right in: ".....there are basic human needs, drives, and types of behavior which have elements in common with similar functions of the non-human primate level. For example many aspects of sexual behavior are similar in man and the apes. Perhaps in these primates one may observe anlagen (approximately basic "plan" or "blueprint", JL) of human motivation and behavior, free from cultural veneers and far enough removed to avoid the well-known errors involved in man's study of himself. (Carpenter, 1940/1964, p. 160)."
