It is one of three species of hoolock gibbon and was first described in January 2017 in the American Journal of Primatology.[2] EtymologyThe Skywalker hoolock gibbon is named after Luke Skywalker from the Star Wars franchise, as the scientists who described it are fans of the franchise.[3][4] The specific name tianxing is the Pinyin transliteration of the Chinese terms 天 (tiān) meaning "heaven" and 行 (xing) meaning "movement".[5][6] The name is a reference to brachiation, the main locomotory mode of gibbons, and derived from the text of the I Ching, an ancient Chinese book of divination.[1] HabitatThe Skywalker hoolock gibbon is found in the tropical forests of eastern Myanmar and the Yunan Province in southwestern China.[3] About 200 individuals are estimated to live in China and an unknown number in Myanmar.[3] References1. ^1 {{cite journal|last1=Fan|first1=P-F|last2=He|first2=K|last3=Chen|first3=X|last4=Ortiz|first4=A|last5=Zhang|first5=B|last6=Zhao|first6=C|last7=Li|first7=Y-Q|last8=Zhang|first8=H-B|last9=Kimock|first9=C|last10=Wang|first10=W-Z|last11=Groves|first11=C|last12=Turvey|first12=S.T|last13=Roos|first13=C|last14=Helgen|first14=K.M|last15=Jiang|first15=X-L|title=Description of a new species of Hoolock gibbon (Primates: Hylobatidae) based on integrative taxonomy.|journal=American Journal of Primatology|volume=79|date=2017|issue=9999|pages=e22631|doi=10.1002/ajp.22631|pmid=28073165|issn=1098-2345|url=http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1529319/}} {{Hylobatidae nav}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q28197046}}{{DEFAULTSORT:gibbon, hoolock, Skywalker}}2. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/jan/11/new-species-of-gibbon-discovered-in-china |title=New species of gibbon discovered in China |first=Georgia |last=Brown|date= 11 January 2017|work=The Guardian }} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web | url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-38576819 | work=BBC News| date=11 January 2017|title='Star Wars gibbon' is new primate species}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/01/star-wars-skywalker-hoolock-gibbons-primates/|title=New Species of Primate Is Named After ‘Star Wars’|date=2017-01-11|website=National Geographic News|access-date=2019-02-18}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/tian|title=Tian {{!}} Chinese religion|website=Encyclopedia Britannica|language=en|access-date=2019-02-18}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.yourdictionary.com/xing|title=Xing dictionary definition {{!}} Xing defined|website=www.yourdictionary.com|access-date=2019-02-18}} 6 : Hoolock|Primates of East Asia|Mammals of Myanmar|Fauna of Yunnan|Mammals described in 2017|Star Wars |
