金頰長臂猿分布於柬埔寨、越南及寮國,是日行性樹棲動物。剛出生時的金頰長臂猿毛色為黃色,約一歲時會轉成黑色,雄性在成年後毛色則會維持黑色,而雌性成年後毛色則會轉成黃褐色。
長臂猿以果實及樹葉為食,群體會在清晨時鳴叫,他們響亮而充滿活力的叫聲被描述為在亞洲熱帶雨林中聽到的最美妙的歌曲之一。由於棲息地被破壞、人為獵捕及寵物貿易等原因面臨極大威脅。
The yellow-cheeked gibbon is distributed in Cambodia, Vietnam, and Laos, and is a diurnal arboreal animal. Newborn yellow-cheeked gibbons have yellow fur, which turns black at around one year of age. Adult males maintain their black coloration, while adult females develop yellowish-brown fur. Both sexes have distinctive yellow patches on their cheeks. Gibbons feed on fruits and leaves, and groups vocalize in the early morning. Their loud and energetic calls are described as one of the most beautiful songs heard in Asian tropical rainforests. They face significant threats due to habitat destruction, human hunting, and the pet trade.
