Siamang is a species from Hylobatidae. All species of Hylobatidae occur in tropical forest in South East Asia. They mostly locomote by brachiating. They are also monogamous and thus have a defined territory that they protect actively. Every morning, they do a special type of vocalisation, called song, to advertise their territory. Siamang is known for its spectacular duet song. Siamang has the most complex duet song structure among the other gibbons. This video is a documentation of a pair of adult siama
