Kloss's Gibbon Hylobates klossii

Also known as the Mentawai gibbon, the bilou or dwarf siamang. They exclusively live on the Mentawai Islands that lie to the west of Sumatra. Kloss's gibbon are unique gibbons because the two sexes do not vocalize songs in unison. Male Kloss's gibbon sing before the sun rises and female Kloss's gibbon vocalize songs once the sun has risen.
