Details
The male white-cheeked gibbon has black hair over its entire body, whereas the female has yellowish-brown hair. Both sexes have distinct white patches on their cheeks. The juveniles are covered in yellow-buff fur. White-cheeked gibbons are generally sociable and live in groups. They usually vocalize (make calls) around 6:30 in the morning. White-cheeked gibbons are facing great threats due to the disruption of their natural habitat, forest fires and poaching.
