The research team, led by Pan Peng (Sun Yat-sen University, China), initially suspected that the gibbon they were studying at Gaoliongshan Nature Reserve (Yunnan) New species due to some minor differences in face recognition features such as white eyebrows and antennae. In addition, gibbons are well known for their use of landmarking, which is also a noticeable difference. A comprehensive comparison of the genes and the condition of this species with other species has confirmed that the Skywalker is a completely new species.

Dr Turvey said his team had climbed 2,500 meters to find the habitat of the species in Gaoligongshan Nature Reserve, where trees were cut down.

Scientists estimate that about 200 Skywalker apes live in China and are likely to be found in some neighboring Myanmar. However, due to habitat loss and population fragmentation, scientists believe that the gibbon should be classified as endangered.
