Lar gibbon
The Lar Gibbon (Hylobates lar), also known as the white-handed gibbon, ranges from the Southwest of china, to Malysia and Indonesia. They primarily live in trees, where they move swiftly, swinging from branch to branch. They live a monogamous life, mating for life. Their diet consists of fruit, leaves and insects. The Lar gibbon can live to up to 25 years in the wild, but they are threatened in several ways. It is hunted for its meat, or to keep as a pet, but the biggest threat is the loss of its habitat as more and more forests are cut down. photo taken by: de:User:Matthias Trautsch, licensed under GFDL.
