Details
The white-handed gibbons spend most of their time in trees. They always raise their hands up when walking on the ground, which makes them look funny. However, they move totally differently when they are in trees. Both father and mother raise their baby together until the baby is about 8 years old. A distinctive feature of the white-handed gibbon is their loud and clear voice, which they use to sing in the early morning.
