Northern White-Cheeked Gibbons

These two fantastic creatures were photographed at Melbourne Zoo. A classic case of sexual dimorphism, the white female and black male gibbon are mother nature’s answer to Ebony and Ivory. These beautiful primates are critically endangered, with less than 1,000 estimated to still be remaining in the wild.
