Synonyms: Hylobates cinereus muelleri

Wikipedia Abstract

Müller's Bornean gibbon (Hylobates muelleri), also known as the grey gibbon, is a primate in the gibbon family, Hylobatidae. Unlike other gibbon species, Müller's Bornean gibbon does not show sexual dimorphism in its fur coloration. Its fur is grey- or brown-colored with a ring of bright fur around its face. On the head, it often has a darkly colored cap. Weighing between 4-8kg, it ranks among the smaller of the gibbons.
