The white-cheeked gibbon (Nomascus leucogenys) is an agile, tree-dwelling primate native to the forests of Southeast Asia. Males are black with distinctive white cheek patches, while females are a light tan or beige. Known for their powerful, melodic songs and incredible swinging ability (brachiation), they live in small family groups and are highly territorial. Sadly, they are endangered due to habitat loss and hunting.
