siamang
Loud Asian primate
A siamang is a large black gibbon native to the forests of Sumatra and Malaysia, distinguished by its throat sac that inflates to amplify its booming calls.
Siamangs are the largest of the gibbons and mate for life, with pairs performing elaborate vocal duets that can be heard for miles.
