Found in Western and Central Java, this is a Silvery Gibbon. They are a critically endangered species due to habitat destruction caused by palm oil, logging and other human activities. Their dwindling population is thought to be between 2500-4000 individuals. Not many at all... They are also popular victims of the exotic pet trade.

Photos from the Mammoths and Mastodons: Titans of the Ice Age exhibit at the Museum of Science. Quoting from their description:

Travel back to a time when humans shared the stage with woolly giants! Examine full-scale replicas of massive Ice Age mammals, including Lyuba, a 40,000-year-old baby mammoth discovered by a Siberian reindeer herder in 2007. The exhibit also features some of the oldest art in existence, huge skulls and tusks, weird and wonderful mammoth relatives, and mastodon bones collected by William Clark (of Lewis and Clark fame) for President Thomas Jefferson's own collection.

This exhibition was created by The Field Museum, Chicago.
