Hoolock gibbon's at Assam State Zoo cum Botanical Garden,
R.G.Baruah Road, Guwahati, Assam, India
*The hoolock gibbons are three primate species of genus Hoolock in the gibbon family, Hylobatidae, native to eastern Northeast India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Southwest China.
Hoolocks are the second-largest of the gibbons, after the siamang. They reach a size of 60 to 90 cm and weigh 6 to 9 kg. The sexes are about the same size, but they differ considerably in coloration; males are black-colored with remarkable white brows, while females have a grey-brown fur, which is darker at the chest and neck. White rings around their eyes and mouths give their faces a mask-like appearance. The Oxford English Dictionary says that the name "hoolock" is from "a language of Assam."
