Bornean white-bearded gibbon
Species of ape
The Bornean white-bearded gibbon (Hylobates albibarbis), also known as the Bornean agile gibbon or southern gibbon, is a species of gibbon endemic to southern Borneo. It is an endangered species, due to the ongoing logging of tropical forests between the Kapuas and Barito rivers.[2] Additional issues of concern to the endangerment of white-bearded gibbons also threaten other arboreal primates.[3][4]
The white-bearded gibbon is very similar to other gibbons in their behaviour and their frugivorous diet. The Bornean white-bearded gibbon was formerly considered a subspecies of the agile gibbon but based on recent DNA research, some now classify it as a separate species.[1][4][5]
