The eastern black crested gibbon is a small ape showing pronounced adult colour differences: males are mainly black, while females are buff or golden with darker crown markings. It survives in a restricted limestone landscape spanning Guangxi in China and northern Vietnam. (Wikipedia, general species account)
It lives in territorial family groups in tropical forest and moves through the canopy by arm-swinging and leaping. Fruit dominates the diet, supplemented by leaves and flowers. Adult pairs produce loud coordinated songs that carry across valleys and help maintain territories. (Wikipedia, general species account)
