Tree-dwelling Asian ape (6)

I believe the answer is:

gibbon

(Other definitions for gibbon that I've seen before include "Member of the ape family" , "Ape -- author of the 14 15 of the 5 7" , "Writer" , "Small tree-dwelling ape with long powerful arms" , "Large tailless ape" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
