Description: The siamang (Hylobates syndactylus) is the largest species of gibbon. They inhabit both primary and secondary forests and range from the Malay penninsula to Sumatra. The major portion of their diet is composed of leaves, but they aslo eat fruit, flowers, and a small amount of animal prey.

Siamangs, like other gibbons, are territorial. A pair establishs and defends a territory from others. They tolerate immature offspring in the family area until the offspring reach puberty; then the young leave to establish their own home territories.

Siamangs, like other gibbons, have loud calls. The male inflates his throat sac to scream a call while the female barks her calls.
