The smallest of the great apes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gibbons are the smallest members of the great ape family. That doesn\u2019t stop them from leaping 10 to 15 meters through the trees. They move from branch to branch using their long arms. Like all great apes, they have no tail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monogamous, the family typically consists of a pair and their young. The young remain with their parents until the age of 6\u20138 years, before leaving to establish their own territory and family. The female gives birth to a single young every 2 or 3 years, after a 7-month gestation period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Red-faced gibbons exhibit significant sexual dimorphism. The female is recognizable by her cream-colored fur, while the black male has two bands of red hair on either side of his face, known as sideburns. At birth, all young are cream-colored (making them hard to spot on their mother\u2019s belly); starting at 10 months, they begin to turn black with red sideburns, while females revert to cream as they reach maturity.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
