HOUSTON - The Houston Zoo welcomed two new additions to its Wortham World of Primates this week.

Meet Max and Murray, two white-cheeked gibbon brothers who moved into their new habitat from another zoo in Florida.

The white-cheeked gibbons are native to Southeast Asia and are known for swinging from branch to branch in treetops using their long arms.
