Hearing the gibbon cry is a fascinating sound outdoors. Inside a large space with high reverb it gives a creepy feeling. Still, it's good that Brookfield and zoos the world over do what they do to preserve the gibbon species. Thanks for sharing this.
I love, love gibbons. It's so sad that they need a species survival plan, but it's lovely to see them in action. Pretty cool camera too, to show them so close up and clearly.
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! The Chicago Zoological Society, which manages Brookfield Zoo, is happy to announce the birth of a male white-cheeked gibbon on June 9. The infant is the third male born to Indah, 25, in the last five years. Currently, the entire gibbon family-including mom; her new baby; Benny, 29, the dad; and the baby's two brothers Thani, 5; and Cuong, 2½-can all be seen in the zoo's Tropic World: Asia exhibit between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. As the baby gets older, the hours will be extended. White-cheeked gibbons are critically endangered in their native habitat of Vietnam and the Lao People's Democratic Republic. They are presumed extinct in their native China. The dramatic decline of white-cheeked gibbons in the wild is due primarily to hunting and habitat loss.
