understory
There are around 22,390 siamangs left in the wild. The siamang are a species of primate that are endangered. They are known for their throaty calls.
Symphalangus syndactylus
Siamangs are small gibbons (apes) that live in trees. Because they are so agile while moving in the trees, almost no predators can catch them. Siamangs eat vegetation and small animals. Like almost all wild animals they are prey to some, and predators to others.

Close relatives to agile gibbons include siamangs, bonobos, chimpanzees, and orangutans. These species belong to the family Hominidae, which also includes humans. Gibbons and siamangs are part of the subfamily Hylobatidae.
The Siamang is a variety of gibbon ape that lives in the forests of Malaysia, Sumatra and Thailand.
Siamangs have a distinctive calling behavior known as a duet, where male and female sing together to establish territory and strengthen their bond. They also have a prehensile tail that helps them move through the rainforest canopy with agility. Siamangs are known for their energetic and acrobatic locomotion, leaping up to 10 meters in a single bound.
Siamangs primarily rely on fruits as their main source of matter and energy, as they are frugivorous primates. They consume a variety of fruits, including figs, which are abundant in their forest habitats. Additionally, they may eat leaves, flowers, and occasionally insects, but fruits make up the bulk of their diet, providing essential nutrients and calories for their active lifestyle.
Gibbons are apes. They're classified as lesser apes along with siamangs, meaning they belong to a family separate from the great apes (including humans).
No, the xiphihumeralis muscle is not present in humans. It is a muscle that is sometimes found in certain non-human primates, such as gibbons and siamangs.
