Male: Males have black hair with white bits on their cheeks which is way to recognize the males.

Female: They have reddish brown fur and have a crest of black or dark brown fur running from the top of their head to their neck.

Young: At birth, both males and females are covered in yellow fur, and weigh of 480 grams on average. At around one year old, the fur in both females and males changes to a black, with pale patches on their cheeks. Size: They are reported to have an average weight of 7.5 kilograms, although this is based on only a small number of wild individuals, and those in captivity appear to be larger. Breeding: Northern white cheeked gibbons reach sexual maturity around 7 or 8 years old. Habitat: White cheeked gibbons live in primary evergreen subtropical forests ranging in size. Today, the northern white-cheeked gibbon is found only in northern Vietnam and northern Laos. Feeding: White cheeked gibbon mainly eat fruits with some buds, flowers and leaves. Up to 10% of their diet is insects and other small animals. Conclusion: I like white cheeked gibbon because of their cute little white patches on their cheeks, and the way they are so playful like the ones I seen at the zoo. They are also really good climbers, and only males have white cheeks.
