      Horace was the male i believe (unless there was more than this pair of Hoolocks at pz during this time) as this article below says he was housed at the zoo from 1980 til 1993. Sadly he had the hepatitis b virus in his body which is why he is mentioned in the below article. Thanks for loading these pictures. Luckily Gibbons living space have greatly improved hey. Tetrapod has been an incredible host of knowledge about the Gibbons (species and numbers) who lived at pz over the last 30 years. Would love to see more Gibbons accommodated for within Australian zoos and broaden participation in indivudial species conservation projects {although i cant not praise pz for their wonderful efforts past and present for Silvery and White Cheeks :) }.

      Horace's partner was Flossie and she died in 1992 while he died in 1993 and they apparently came from zoo/s in Asia somewhere
