The northern white-cheeked gibbon is a species of gibbon native to South East Asia. It is closely related to the southern white-cheeked gibbon, with which it was previously considered conspecific. The females of the two species are virtually indistinguishable in appearance.
How do white-cheeked gibbon protect themselves?
They defend about three-quarters of their range as their group territory. Defense takes the form of calls from the center of the territory, calls from the boundaries, confrontations across the boundaries, chasing across the boundaries and, rarely, physical contact between males.
How many white-cheeked gibbons are left?
The only known viable population—130 groups totaling about 455 gibbons—was discovered just two years ago and lives in a single park in Vietnam. IUCN Red List status: Critically endangered.
