Description
Western hoolock gibbon skull replica measures 3.5 x 3.0 x 2.7 inches. The Hoolock hoolock skull is museum-quality polyurethane resin cast from California Academy of Sciences specimen. 2-part skull (separate cranium and mandible). 1:1 scale. Made in USA.
This 4.3-inch western hoolock gibbon replica is a great look at the “lesser apes” of Asia. These primates are famous for their loud songs. However, their skull shows off more than just vocal power. It features large eye sockets for life in the trees. Compare this to the white-handed gibbon or the massive male western lowland gorilla to see how ape skulls vary in size.
