Long before we were anywhere near it’s enclosure, we can hear the loud calls of the Siamangs (Symphalangus syndactylus). The largest of the gibbons, the siamang 🐒 can be twice the size of other gibbons, reaching 1 m (3.3 ft) in height, and weighing up to 14 kg (31 lb).

Seeing a small crowd ahead of us, we took a shortcut by walking over the bouncy nettings to the other side. Two male Red-shanked Douc Langurs 🐒 (Pygathrix nemaeus) were sitting on the railing posing for the cameras and handphones. They looked like old men in grey suit, brown pants and white sleeve.
