Siamang Liam and Lola Sing Together for the First Time
Channel: Denver Zoo
Date: 10/10/2021

We have exciting news about our endangered siamang pair Liam and Lola! Last month, they sang together on exhibit for the first time which was then followed a few days later with their second on-exhibit song! These songs were likely territorial and play an important role in solidifying bonds between siamangs. While we do not have a SSP breeding recommendation yet, this a huge step towards Liam and Lola becoming a bonded pair! When they’re not serenading the Zoo, Liam and Lola can be found snuggling together or exploring their new exhibit across from our mandrill habitat. Check out the video below and be sure to keep an ear out for a very unique-sounding part of Liam’s song! (Hint: If you think a crying baby somehow made its way into the audio, that’s actually Liam!)
