Informations supplémentaires:
Adelaide Zoo is home to a family group of White-cheeked Gibbons. Dad, Rhemus was born on 26 June 1996 at Zoo Duisburg, Germany, arriving at Adelaide Zoo in August 2006. He’s a wonderful father and very protective of his little family. Mum, Viet was born on 6 June 1999 at Melbourne Zoo, arriving at Adelaide Zoo in November 2005. She’s a relaxed and attentive mum, who’s an excellent teacher to her offspring. Both Rhemus and Viet love fruit as a special treat. Their daughter, Nhu was born on 14 September 2012. Like any youngster, she’s constantly on the move and loves playing with her parents. She’s a great big sister to younger sister Tien, who was born on 13 April 2014, and is learning the skills required to become a good parent by watching her mum and younger sister interact. The newest addition to the family, Tuson, was born on 10 December 2016. After clinging to mum for the first 6-9 months, she is now busy delighting visitors as she swings around her exhibit under the protective eye of mum. Tuson’s birth is a significant achievement for Adelaide Zoo as she is only the third White-cheeked Gibbon infant to be born at the zoo in its history.
