ADELAIDE Zoo is celebrating the birth of a critically endangered white-cheeked gibbon.

The baby, whose sex is not yet known, was born on April 13 to proud parents Viet and Remus.

The newcomer is one of only three white-cheeked gibbons born at the zoo in its 130-year history.

A zoo spokeswoman said the infant was very important to the genetic diversity of the Australasian population, as there were only 18 of them in five zoos throughout the region.

The primate species is in serious decline in its natural habitat of Laos, Vietnam and Southern China due to deforestation and poaching for the wildlife trade.
