This Kindhearted Woman Took Care of This Orphaned Kloss Gibbon. She calls herself a monkey mamma but, if we are being picky about facts, she was actually an ape mamma. Gibbons are primates in the ape family and are known as “lesser apes” to differentiate them from the great apes like orangutans, gorillas and chimpanzees. This is a #repost from @lizeminnelli via @PhotoAroundApp Freshly returned from a month working in the Mentawai Islands. Being Monkey Mamma to this little orphaned dude - an endangered Kloss Gibbon - for a week was easily the highlight. We found him a new & safe home to go to near Padang. Fingers crossed he grows big and strong & can then be released into the wild to make his own babies. #digitaldetox #klossgibbon #monkey #mentawaiislands #MacaronisResort #backtoreality #GibbonCare #OrphanGibbon #EndangeredSpecies #KlossGibbons #IndonesianWildlife https://www.instagram.com/p/B-OR9fpgkp3/?igshid=2gxuatxdtwk4

Kloss Gibbon Singing In this video clip, that includes an additional 2 photos, you can see kloss gibbons up close. It preservation is very important and it’s population as decreased by around half in the past 30 years. The video is a #repost from @swaraowa via @PhotoAroundApp greeting from the wild of #Mentawai forest. #InternationalGibbonday The two photos, added to the video, are a #repost from @markleonspence via @PhotoAroundApp Mark Spence wrote “Kloss' gibbon with his feet up, mid song. One of Mentawai's endemic primates and another one of Indonesia's primates that is unfortunately endangered. It's numbers have declined by approximately 50% in the last thirty years. They are said to be fiercely territorial, using their ridiculously amazing singing to ward off rivals but when we saw this guy he was part of a group of at least ten. Whether that was a weird coincidence or something else I don't know but trying to focus on that many gibbons leaping around in such a small area was just totally overwhelming.” #gibbon #klossgibbon #hylobatesklossii #gibbonsofinstagram #kloss #hylobates #siberut #tamannasionalsiberut #indonesiawildlifephotography #primate #IUCN #gibbonwatching #IndonesianGibbon #primatewatching #primataIndonesia #klossGibbon #gibbonproject #conservationfieldwork #Bilou #swaraOwa #KlossGibbons #SaveTheGibbons #SaveTheRainforest www.swaraOwa.blogspot.com (at Kepulauan Mentawai) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-OM66DgUcu/?igshid=1n9v9x3fply5x
