EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting portrait, a juvenile Hylobates concolor, or crested gibbon, gazes curiously at the camera with its expressive, fur-covered face. The black crested gibbon is an endangered primate species native to the forests of Southeast Asia, specifically in countries like Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. This agile and arboreal creature is a member of the Hylobatidae family, which also includes other gibbon species. The crested gibbon's distinctive features include its long, flowing fur, which is darker in color on its back and limbs and lighter on its chest and face. The most notable feature is the crest of black hair on its head, which resembles a small mohawk. This crest is not only visually striking but also serves as a sexual signal for potential mates. The juvenile gibbon in the photograph is a member of the Hominoidea order, which includes primates such as apes and humans. More specifically, it is a hominoid, meaning it shares a closer evolutionary relationship with humans than other primates. The gibbon's anatomy is adapted for its arboreal lifestyle, with long, powerful limbs and a long tail for balance. This image was skillfully captured by renowned wildlife photographer Frank Greenaway. Greenaway's passion for animals and dedication to preserving their natural habitats is evident in his stunning photography. The juvenile gibbon's inquisitive expression and the intricate details of its fur and features make this photograph a must-have for any wildlife enthusiast or collector. In summary, this photograph showcases the beauty and uniqueness of the crested gibbon, a critically endangered primate species native to Southeast Asia. The juvenile's expressive face, distinctive crest, and intricate fur make it a fascinating subject for wildlife photography, while Frank Greenaway's skillful composition and technique bring out the best in this remarkable animal.
