Atlas is a white-handed gibbon, an ape, and the only one currently at Monkeyland in South Africa.  While filming, we came across him eating at one of the feeding stations.  Since the monkeys and ape at Monkeyland have no fear of humans, he continued to eat while I filmed him.  I got Tom, the Monkeyland volunteer I followed that day, to talk a little bit about him and gibbons in general. Tom called him ¨the little man of the forest¨ and at the end of the video, you’ll see why.
