The white-handed gibbon, scientifically known as Hylobates lar, is a fascinating primate species found in South East Asia. Specifically, they can be spotted in the Nakhon Ratchasima province of Thailand. With their striking appearance and unique behaviors, these gibbons have captured the attention of researchers and nature enthusiasts alike. One captivating depiction of this remarkable creature is seen in a colour litho titled "White-Handed Gibbon. " The artwork beautifully showcases the gibbon's physical features and highlights its white hands that lend it its name. Similarly, a coloured engraving also captures the essence of this stunning primate. Interestingly, despite being commonly associated with Southeast Asia, there are instances where white-handed gibbons have been observed outside their natural habitat. For instance, Monkeyland Primate Sanctuary near Pletteberg Bay in South Africa houses one such gibbon. When observing these gibbons up close, one cannot help but admire their agility and gracefulness. A front view image shows a lar gibbon standing with its arms hanging freely – an iconic pose for this species. Additionally, an engraving from 1895 portrays both gorillas and lar gibbons side by side; showcasing the diversity within the primate family. Swinging through trees on vines is another characteristic behavior exhibited by these primates. A sequence of illustrations perfectly captures this activity as the Lar Gibbon or White-Handed Gibbon effortlessly moves from branch to branch using its long arms. In terms of coloration variations within this species, some individuals exhibit a pale form like the Common Gibbon found in Kaeng Krachan National Park in Thailand during May. Here we see a habituated young adult sitting on grass while another individual hangs on branches amidst monsoon rainforest at Khao Yai National Park. Whether seated or walking along vines (even if captive), these gibbons never fail to captivate our attention with their expressive eyes and curious demeanor.
