[Japanese studbook number: Hylobates lar #129] The individual was the second gibbon born at the Noichi Zoological Park of Kochi Prefecture. Due to his weakening at birth, it was determined that his mother could not raise the child by itself; thus, keepers became his surrogate parents. He is covered with black hair, which he inherited from his father. People often mistakenly call Shirote-tenagazaru (pronounced "Shirote-tenagazaru" in Japanese or white-handed gibbon) Shiro-tenagazaru (pronounced "Shiro-tenagazaru" in Japanese or white gibbon). This mistake can be found not only among the general public but also in published literature and among primatologists. Reportedly, he was thus named TeTe with hopes that people would correctly call it by its species. He was hand raised. |
