Of the nine species of gibbon, the lar is the smallest. Gibbons inhabit the tropical rain forests of southern Asia, specifically Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
Gibbons range in color from brown to black.
The lar gibbon is characteristically marked with white hands, feet, and face rings. A male and female typically join in a monogamous relationship that consists of the mated pair and their offspring. The mated pair tends to stay together in the same territory and continue to reproduce as the mature offspring leave the group.
