Goodbye, Yunnan white-handed gibbon
A research team of anthropologists from Zurich University working in conjunction with the Kunming Institute of Zoology declared the Yunnan white-handed gibbon to be extinct. The ape was last seen in 1988 in Yunnan’s Nangunhe Nature Reserve. Its loud, melodious calls were last heard by humans in 1992.
