About the Agile Gibbon

One of the smaller apes of its kind, the Agile Gibbon varies in colour between black and reddish-brown. The male is distinguishable from his female counterpart by the white or light-grey cheek fur on his face; both have white eyebrows and, like all gibbons, are tail less. As its name suggests, the Agile Gibbon is one of the fastest and most acrobatic climbers in the forest.
