Monkey (or primate) Business with the Critter Fixer!

Dr. Bogan is seen here performing an upper GI examination of a primate called a simang. The siamang is a tailless, arboreal, black-furred gibbon native to the forests of Malaysia, Thailand, and Sumatra. The largest of the gibbons, the siamang can be twice the size of other gibbons, reaching 1 m in height, and weighing up to 14 kg.
