The Abbot’s gray gibbon[1], also known as a western gray gibbon, is an acrobatic primate of the gibbons’ family, Hylobatidae. Abbott’s gray gibbons are very small and light.
- These species have a small, round head, long arms, and a slender, short body. Like all apes, they have no tail.
- They are covered in dense light to very dark brown (or black) fur over most of their body (except for the face, palms, fingers, forearms, and armpits).
- Abbott’s gray gibbons have hairless faces with small nostrils, dark eyes, and jet-black fur.
- Their hands are very similar to ours; they have 4 long fingers and a small opposable thumb. Their feet have five toes, including an opposable big toe.
