Buff-cheeked gibbons have extensive parental investment by both parents. Females necessarily provide nutrition through nursing the young, but both parents may groom, carry, and protect the immature gibbons. The young stay with the parents for 6 to 8 years after birth.

Gibbons are my favorite monkey of both old and new world classes

Well, technically they are apes, with no immediate connection to new world monkeys, but yeah, I guess they do count as old world simians.
