Perth Zoo baby Javan Gibbon "Owa"

A rare Javan Gibbon has survived the first few months of life thanks to Perth Zoo staff who continue to care for it around the clock. The male Gibbon named ‘Owa’ or ‘gibbon’ in Indonesian has had to be reared by Perth Zoo keepers six days after his birth when it became evident that mother, ‘Hecla’ wasn’t producing enough milk to sustain her infant.
