The Western Hoolock Gibbon Male.... Upper Assam, India. The only Ape found in the Indian Subcontinent. Take a look at the hands, fingers and palms. Being typically arboreal, any breakage in their canopy habitat means they get marooned. Biggest threat, habitat fragmentation.

Well done, a good pose and composition showing well it's habitat. Those hands are really something, so big for the size of the animal! Looks like they fit perfectly around the trees.
