Music to our ears: Rescued 'singing apes' now in care of Sabah's new gibbon rehab centre

KOTA KINABALU: Five rescued gibbons will be sent to recover under Sabah’s first gibbon rehabilitation project set up recently in Kota Belud district on the west coast.

These North Bornean gibbons (Hylobates funereus), a species of small primate, were mostly kept as pets and were now in the care of the Gibbon Conservation Society (GCS).
