Gibbon
Hylobates lar
Siamang Skull, Female.
Siamangs, the largest of the gibbons, live in Sumatra and Malaysia. These apes are almost exclu-sively arboreal, displaying "suspensory" behavior. Siamangs have opposable big toes, which allow them to grasp branches with their feet when walking upright along them. They also travel through the trees swinging from tree limb to limb, covering more than 30 feet with a single swing. One difference between siamangs and other gibbons is its enormous throat sac, which can inflate to a size equi-valent almost to the size of its head.
