Indian hog deer. Its name derives from the hog-like manner in which it runs through forests (with its head hung low), to ease ducking under obstacles instead of leaping over them, like most other deer.

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 and I couldn't get a better shot. Spotted them while the guide and I were driving on a local road. I was so elated to see them in the wild! There was a family of three of them in the wild. The male is black in color.

Amazingly you can easily hear their call from a mile away. Hear their call.
