who's the layman who thought these were howler monkey's? I worked in Thailand at a wildlife rescue centre for nearly a year, and we rescued a female siamang gibbon, and she CERTAINLY had a throat sac. they are the loudest land mammal, apparently. they are gibbons (they used to be classified as a distinct species of ape, seperate from gibbons) and they are 'lesser' apes.
I remember I saw a pair at the Seattle Zoo when I went there a few years back, thanks so much for posting this. Their duet calls are amazing:) Powerful.
hey, excellent footage of Peggy and Oscar singing their duet. I actually look after these guys so it is nice to see that they are famous and on you tube!
That's just awesome XD

actually, they ARE howler monkeys. gibbons don't have throat pouches.
SilentHillMyHome 3 years ago
They are Siamang Gibbons. They are part of the gibbon family genus and are the only sub-speices of gibbon with throat pouches.
