We humans could learn a thing or two from our fellow primates, the gibbons, when it comes to loyalty and commitment – gibbons are the only primates that are monogamous. Oh, and they sing too – the most elaborate and complex songs among all land mammals.
There are five species of gibbons, also known as small apes, found in Malaysia. The white-handed gibbon, dark-handed or agile gibbon, and the siamang are found in Peninsular Malaysia while Muller’s gibbon and Abbott’s grey gibbon live in Sabah and Sarawak.
