This is an agile gibbon, also known as a black-handed gibbon. You can tell that this one is a male by the white cheeks. He was quite habituated and very curious about me and my guide. In fact, he was hanging only about a foot or so from the front of my wide angle lens when I took this picture. We were in Tanjung Puting National Park in Indonesian Borneo.

Love him…
Great lighting Sean. Very nicely done.
Too bad it is a male I kinda want to see Shardae put some make up and jewelry on this little guy. I guess he could be drag queen gibbon?
That’s right Mo. It is 2011. I’ll see what I can do. 🙂
agile gibbon? or AMISH gibbon? i’d recognize that beard anywhere
