Extremely rare gibbon born at Wildlife Park

An extremely rare silvery gibbon has been born at the Curraghs Wildlife Park.

It's the third baby born to parents Slamet and Nakula since 2016 as part of a global breeding programme.

Silvery gibbons are classed as an endangered species, as there are as few as 2,000 adults left in the wild.

General Manager of the Wildlife Park, Kathleen Graham, says there are just 52 of the species in the care of nine European zoos, so the birth is very significant.

The newborn's gender is not yet determined and so it's currently without a name.
