Finding the Right Perch

Everyone who has been to the Asia section of Disney's Animal Kingdom will recognize this species. It is the white-cheecked gibbon. Their habitat, and especially their antics, can often dominate a guest's attention in this area. This female, and you can tell it's a female from her white fur, found as high perch as she could to do some tourist watching.


The white-cheeked gibbon is listed as critically endangered as habitat loss and poaching his decreased their population be almost 80% over the last few decades.
