Hoolock Gibbon is the only wild ape found in India. Its natural habitat is limited to NE India.
Unfortunately, this one was high up on a tree, almost directly overhead. There was a family of three of them. We spotted them while driving on a local road. Lifer for me! The female is light-brown in color.
You can easily hear their calls from a mile away. Hear their call.
