The "Wou-wou", or silvery gibbons, 1845. Creator: Unknown
The " Wou-wou", or silvery gibbons, 1845. The " Wou-Wou" or " Moloch, "...is a native of Malacca. It derives its specific name from its peculiar cry, which is a gutteral scream resembling, according to the natives, the sound " wou-wou" ; is very loud, and may be often heard resounding at vast distances through the mighty forests...Their diet is composed of lettuces, potatoes, bread, oranges, apples, &c.; they will drink milk, tea, or chocolate, but no beer or fermented liquors, being in this respect of far more temperate habits than the Chimpanzees or Orang-Outangs...They are seen to the greatest advantage when amusing themselves among the ropes with which their apartment is furnished - their long arms and extreme tenacity of grasp enabling them to spring from one cord to the other with surprising confidence, and with almost bird-like velocity. From " Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII
