NATURE
OUR GIBBONS
“You first hear a baby hoolock gibbon sing
with its family when it is four or five years
old. When it is seven years old it sets off on
its own to find a mate, and will live up to 40 years. If their
mate dies, they don’t mingle again. Hoolock gibbons only
have one partner in life, and usually no more than two or
three young. That’s why I like them. They are like us.”
