Siamang Gibbon (Symphalangus syndactylus)

I have always wanted to photograph a Malaysian Gibbon, having seen them in the jungles when I was very young. They can be frequently heard with a call that is as haunting as the darkness of the forests and jungles of Malaysia. So, on a birding trip to the montane region of Malaysia in November 2010, I finally found this rather unique ape. It is the largest of the Gibbons to be found in South-east Asia, and is the only species in the genus Symphalangus.
