  • The Siamang is a tailless, arboreal, black furred gibbon native to the forests of Malaysia, Thailand, and Sumatra. The largest of the lesser apes, the Siamang can be twice the size of other gibbons, reaching 1 m in height, and weighing up to 14 kg.
    The Siamang is distinctive for two reasons. The first is that two fingers on each hand are fused together. The second is the large "gular sac" (found in both male and female of the species), which is a throat pouch that can be inflated to the size of its head, allowing the Siamang to make loud resonating calls or songs.

    This totally brings me back to my childhood. I was living in a town next to a Sumatra's Bukit Barisan Forest. Every morning we could heard the Siamang the forest, they're miles away but we still can hear them
    Sometimes, my friends and i, when exploring the hills near the town, we often stopped just to listen then imitate them. It was a fantastic time for me
    I'm not living in the town anymore, but once a year i usually go back to visit my parent. Now it's hard to heard any Siamang singing, the forest had turned into a palm oil plantation. I've tried to explored the same hills we used to go, but nothing i can hear

    We naturally think about vocal cord development when considering the capabilities for vocalization in an animal, but this reminds us how lung volume and the ability to control the exhalation of air must also have a lot to do with vocalization as well.
