"The Lar gibbon (Hylobates lar), also known as the white-handed gibbon, is a primate in the Hylobatidae or gibbon family. It is one of the better-known gibbons and is often seen in zoos."

Now, back to the Yellow-cheeked Gibbon.
"The yellow-cheeked gibbon (Nomascus gabriellae), also called the yellow-cheeked crested gibbon, the golden-cheeked crested gibbon or the buffed-cheeked gibbon, is a species of gibbon native to Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.[1]
The yellow-cheeked gibbon is born blond and later turns black, and males carry this colouring through their lifespan and have the distinguishing golden cheeks;
females are born blonde to blend into their mother's fur but they later turn black and turn back to blond at sexual maturity and only have a black cap on the top of their heads."
Blonde, black, blonde.

Hmmmm, well I started out blond, then turned dark brown in my 30's ... and now I'm sprinkling said dark brown with white. I must be related to a gibbon! :=}
I do love their heart shaped faces though. They are really adorable!
