Siamang

The Siamang exhibit at this Richmond West wildlife destination introduces visitors to the largest of the gibbons — a black-furred ape from the rainforests of Malaysia, Thailand, and Sumatra whose resonant, far-carrying calls are among the most dramatic vocalizations in the animal kingdom. A Siamang in full song is an experience that can be heard long before the animal is seen. Siamangs are highly social and monogamous, typically living in tight family groups, and observing their interactions reveals a level of pair-bonding and communication rarely seen among primates at this scale. For visitors interested in primate behavior, the Siamang habitat is one of the more intellectually engaging stops at this southwest Miami-Dade wildlife attraction.
