One of three species of Gibbon in the Park, the Lar Gibbon has been in Cork since the very beginning of the Park. We have a workbook on all three gibbon species at the park available here - https://bit.ly/FWPHomeRe | Fota Wildlife Park

The Lar gibbon is one of three species of gibbon in the Asian Sanctuary section of Fota Wildlife Park. Like all gibbon species they are very active animals and can often be seen swinging through ropes and branches in their island habitat or crossing back and forth to the indoor house just off their island habitat. Hunting and habitat destruction are two key reasons why Lar Gibbons are listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. www.fotawildlife.ie/animals-plants/lar-gibbon/ | Fota Wildlife Park
