The White-handed gibbon (Scientific Name: PONGIDAE HYLOBATES Lar), like the gorilla, chimpanzee and orangutan, is an ape, not a monkey. The chief characteristics distinguishing apes from monkeys are the absence of a tail, their more or less upright posture and the high development of their brain. The White-handed gibbon (also know as the Lar gibbon) has a black to pale brown or yellowish-gray fur body, with white hair framing a black naked face. The palms of the hand and soles of the feet are also free of fur and white in color, hence its name. The animal's long arms and grasping hands with thumb, contribute to its ability to swing through the trees.
