Paddy the white-cheeked gibbon will turn 3 years old in September!  In honor of this special occasion, guests are invited to celebrate at a birthday party for Paddy on September 6th.  The white-cheeked gibbon exhibit will be festively decorated and the gibbons will enjoy treats just for them.

Throughout the day, there will be crafts as well as opportunities to meet the zookeepers who care for the gibbons.  Stop by the exhibit at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. to meet the zookeepers and ask questions.

Gibbons are a species of ape and are endangered animals native to Southeast Asia.  They typically weigh between 12 and 16 pounds, are monogamous (pair bonded) and are considered extremely active animals.  Because gibbons are arboreal, or tree dwellers, the exhibit at Stone Zoo is 20 feet tall to allow them to climb high as in their natural environment.
