Description: The Siamang is a gibbon and like the latter, it is an ape, not a monkey.
The Siamang is always black in color, with reddish-brown eyebrows. It differs from other gibbons in that it has a webbing between the second and third toe. The largest of the gibbon family, Siamangs are also the best at walking on two legs. The call of the Siamang excels that of other gibbons because of the animal's sound-amplifying throat sac. The female emits a series of barks alternated with booms resonated in the vocal pouch, which she blows up like a balloon. The mate's higher scream is usually uttered at each of the two accelerations of the female, and their combined "song" rises in pitch to end with the thunderous pouch boom of the male. It is quite a display of territory and power and can be heard for a considerable distance. These animals provide interest to any zoo.
