The siamang is a large species of gibbon found in the forests of Southeast Asia, particularly in Malaysia and Indonesia. Known for its distinctive black fur and long arms, the siamang is an excellent climber and spends most of its life in trees. They are known for their loud, resonant calls, which can be heard over long distances, helping to communicate with other members of their group. Siamangs are social animals, often living in small family groups. They primarily eat fruits, leaves, and flowers, making them important seed dispersers in their ecosystem. As a species, they are currently classified as endangered due to habitat loss and hunting.
