the Lar or white-hand-gibbon populates a big area, the Thailand, the Malay peninsula and the Sundainseln included in several subtypes.
Coloring The fur of the Lar is less dense as with the Hulock, and its color extends to sallow from black over brownish sounds. The hairless one, schwarzhäutige face is framed by light hair, and the upper sides of the hands and feet are knows.
Behavior In the Urwäldern from Thailand, one studied the homestead-life of white-hand-gibbons and found, that they keep to an amazingly regular routine. Common dawn, that a good Stundelang follows the howl-concert, is at six o'clock with which the respective "Ua-ua-uuuh" - consequence with a schnalzenden trill closes. One goes food donating trees, often at the edge of the precinct, from the sleep-trees itself after it to this. There it quite can then occur that neighboring troops also appear and fruit-finish its breakfast trees from the same harvests.
Nutrition Besides buds, blooms and fruits, the food includes also insects, smaller vertebrates and bird-eggs. Screw in the flight sometimes is carried off skillfully. Gibbons drink, in that it itself at its long arms, hanging at branches, to the water level lets down, the hand-back dunks and the water from the hair out-sucks. They apparently are afraid of the water even, and they drown in it because they make no swimming-attempts and its fur becomes saturated itself quickly.
After the extended breakfast, the group existing from at most big-families retreats to its territory where the most severe tropics-heat is spent recumbent against midday. The afternoon then belongs to the hike to the feed-trees in the "no man's land" between the precincts once again, and with filled stomachs, it goes again at break-in of the darkness in direction sleep-trees.
Subtypes One can distinguish several subtypes, that are regarded also as own types by some authors, in the big spread-area: the silver-gibbon (Hylobates lar moloch) of the island Java, that gray to find gibbon (Hylobates lar muelleri) of the island Borneo, the slim-gibbon (Hylobates read agilis), on Sumatra and Borneo, and the cap-gibbon (Hylobates lar pileatus).
Endangering The Lar is endangered all subtypes in its, the silver-gibbon is threatened already by the extinction.
