New Primate Species Named For Luke Skywalker

The force is strong with this one.
A new species of primate has been discovered in Myanmar and southwestern China that scientists are calling the Skywalker hoolock gibbon, a reference to the famous Star Wars lineage, as reported by BBC.
These rare, rainforest dwelling small apes live almost entirely in the forest canopy, and, thanks to their unique movement and “noble” heritage, scientists have named the new species Hoolock tianxing, which translates to “heaven’s movement” or – in Star Wars terms – Skywalker.
The authors of a recent paper published in the American Journal of Primatology were able to differentiate the Skywalkers from other hoolack gibbon species based on both appearance and genetic sequencing. Skywalker hoolock gibbons are defined by their characteristic eyebrows and the color of their eye rings, beard, and foreskin hair. Along with unique mitrochondrial genes, Skywalkers have distinct teeth shapes.
