The northern white-cheeked gibbon[1] (Nomascus leucogenys), also called the white-cheeked gibbon, is an endangered species of gibbon endemic to Southeast Asia.
- Northern white-cheeked gibbons are sexually dimorphic, with males and females having different colorations and the former slightly larger.
- Males have all black fur except for distinctive white cheek patches, a prominent tuft of fur on the crown, and a throat pouch.
- Females are reddish brown, without a cranial plume, and with a crest of black or dark brown fur running from the crown to the nape.
- The species resembles the southern white-cheeked gibbon but slightly has longer hair and different vocalizations.
