The center houses over 40 gibbons, representing five different species, making it a unique sanctuary for these endangered primates.
Gibbons are known for their loud and complex songs, which can be heard up to two miles away in the wild!
The center has been a sanctuary for gibbons since 1976, focusing on conservation, education, and research.
Gibbons can swing through trees at speeds of up to 35 mph, thanks to their long arms and lightweight bodies.
Every morning, the gibbons at the center engage in a 'singing' ritual, creating a symphony of calls that marks their territory and strengthens social bonds.
Gibbons form lifelong pair bonds, often staying with the same partner for up to 25 years.
Gibbons are known for their bipedal locomotion, often seen walking on two legs with their arms raised for balance.
Volunteers can assist with daily operations, gaining hands-on experience in primate care and conservation efforts.
