Habitat upgrade for the king of the singers
Help transform the Siamang gibbons indoor space into a richer, more naturalistic ‘jungle’ environment that encourages natural behaviours all year around.
Meet Rosh and Hale-Bop (or Boppy) – Siamang gibbon brothers born and raised at Marwell.
Siamang gibbons are built for life in the trees. They swing, climb and travel through trees using their incredible strength and agility. Their long arms, boundless energy and natural curiosity demand a space that challenges and stimulates them. And we’re determined to give them exactly that! Creating a more complex environment encourages natural behaviours while giving guests a better understanding of rainforest wildlife.
Your vote could help transform the indoor part of their habitat into a vibrant rainforest-inspired environment that supports their natural behaviours and gives them even more to sing about.
What your vote could achieve
- New climbing structures, planting and natural elevated pathways
- Recreate the rainforest climate indoors
- Encourage natural behaviours all year round
Did you know?
Siamangs have inflatable throat sacs that amplify their spectacular calls – which is why you can often hear them before you see them.
