Don't call me a Monkey!

We visited the Gibbon Conservation center. It is located in the Santa Clarita Valley of Southern California. Their focus is on the study and conservation of gibbons - small apes from the forests of South, East, and Southeast Asia.

They currently house more than 40 gibbons, including 5 of the 17 existing species and representing all 4 genera. The gibbons live in family groups, adults and offspring, giving visitors the opportunity to observe family-oriented behavioral patterns, infant care and development.

It was a fascinating visit.
