Wikipedia Abstract

The yellow-cheeked gibbon (Nomascus gabriellae), also called the golden-cheeked gibbon, yellow-cheeked crested gibbon, the golden-cheeked crested gibbon, red-cheeked gibbon, or the buffed-cheeked gibbon, is a species of gibbon native to Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. This diurnal and arboreal gibbon lives in primary tropical forest, foraging for fruits, using brachiation to move through the trees. Little is known about this species in the wild, but it is thought that it has a life span of approximately 46 years.
