Yes I know gibbons are from Asia, I figured they were planted into the park. Hadn't thought of spider monkeys, great suggestion!

Oops beat it for a second, Gerardo! Apple, this is a species of Spider monkey a type of New World Monkey that only occurs in Central America. Gibbons are apes from Asia :)
