Re: Gibbons roaming around Phnom Penh
Owned by an Okna or not
Fab that gibbons (gibbons!!) are running loose around parts of Phnom Penh.
Maybe we should go back to the ancient days - when all the wild animals of all kingdoms were owned by the King.
Nobody in Cambodia would dare touch a tiger, or a pangolin, strolling down Monivong if they had an HE branded on their flank.

The male was screaming on the balcony the floor below me. I shouted at him and he scrambled right up. Seemed friendly and curious, but I ran into my house when he got too close. Now that I know they're domestic, I might keep some bananas on hand and get a bit closer.
Does anyone know any more about the guy who owns these monkeys?
that's great. I'm glad someone else has seen them too. so they baby that you saw with its mother was brown and not the color of the one in my picture?
Does your apartment happen to be close to the Soviet Khmer friendship hospital?
Richard- I also had a baby Maqacue, female. My friend wasn't home enough to take care of it so he gave her to me. She hated any females. My wife, friends GF's, my wife's mother, any females. She loved boys or men though but would bite women or girls. I have heard that it is common with that breed, idk. I was not home enough with a full-time job to take care of her since my wife couldn't. We gave her to a monk that lived at a Pagoda in Kampong Chnnang with other monkeys that adopted her. 6 months later I saw a shared video on FB of a random couple with a baby macaque that I thought was her. She was on a guy's shoulder wearing the same color orange collar and leash and his GF gave them space. I turned the volume to hear the name Mey-Mey which was the name my wife gave her.
Still here, in country...

Re: Gibbons roaming around Phnom Penh
yea, my female was like that, hated females, the male was good with everyone. Both of mine ended up at the gibbon center in Phuket when they got aggressive..
This girl traveled with me for 2 months or so from Goa to South India in 1984 on my cycle trip. Great girl

Re: Gibbons roaming around Phnom Penh
I'm heading there after I click submit to this post. do you remember the time or thereabouts you saw them?

Re: Gibbons roaming around Phnom Penh
I've seen the mom and kid three times in the past two weeks. I saw the male around a month ago. Once at my apartment, once (screaming) on a building overlooking Mao Tse Tung. Then back at my apartment screaming his head off a few days ago. Based on my own observations, no pattern. I'll keep my eyes out for them.Ravensnest wrote: ↑Sun Feb 09, 2020 10:47 am

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Re: Gibbons roaming around Phnom Penh
I have learned more about them. Excellency Hun To (pronounced Toa apparently, and close relationship to HE) owns them and he lives by Sovana Market. When I briefly searched for his name I didn't find anything.denethor wrote: ↑Sun Feb 09, 2020 11:31 amI've seen the mom and kid three times in the past two weeks. I saw the male around a month ago.
