Pandai, the 5+ month old siamang, looking cute! Mom, Boomerang, on the left, Dad, Jambi, on the right.
Siamang are monogamous and dads take over rearing of the offspring once they finish nursing. Both Boomerang and Jambi are great parents!

A bit off topic but this one is worth hearing too #siamang https://youtu.be/JtRuYrZWvXk

This is Boomerang, a siamang at Tulsa Zoo, with her 3 month old baby boy!
An interesting fact, the mom takes care of the offspring while nursing for the first 1-2 years then the dad takes over raising the kids after that. 😁
