White-Cheeked Gibbon Born to Indah and Benny

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! The Chicago Zoological Society, which manages Brookfield Zoo, is happy to announce the birth of a male white-cheeked gibbon on June 9. The infant is the third male born to Indah, 25, in the last five years. Currently, the entire gibbon family—including mom; her new baby; Benny, 29, the dad; and the baby's two brothers Thani, 5; and Cuong, 2½—can all be seen in the zoo's Tropic World: Asia exhibit between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. As the baby gets older, the hours will be extended. White-cheeked gibbons are critically endangered in their native habitat of Vietnam and the Lao People's Democratic Republic. They are presumed extinct in their native China. The dramatic decline of white-cheeked gibbons in the wild is due primarily to hunting and habitat loss.
