Cute Gibbons Playing & Climbing

A gibbon is any of approximately 20 species of small apes found in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. Gibbons, like the great apes (gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees, and bonobos), have a humanlike build and no tail, but gibbons seem to lack higher cognitive abilities and self-awareness. They also differ from great apes in having longer arms, dense hair, and a throat sac used for amplifying sound. Gibbon voices are loud, are musical in tone, and carry over long distances. The most characteristic vocalization is the “great call,” usually a duet in which the female leads and the male joins in with less-complex notes, used as a territorial marker by both sexes.

If you love gibbons as much as we do at AnimalTV, please think about donating to The Silvery Gibbon Project. The Silvery Gibbon Project aims to raise funds for Javan gibbons and other gibbon species to provide habitats and protection for gibbons.

Their swinging is so fluid and effortless, it’s almost as if they’re flying.

[gastonbell]

The fluidity of their movement, even on the ground, is insane. They're like a bundle of fast-twitch muscles.

[ligit]

I absolutely adore how quickly they sit down. Just so strange yet hilarious to me

4:57 - When you run out of the shower naked past the open window facing street to get your boxers on the chair.

I love gibbons. When I'm filming in the forest, it's great to hear them singing in the morning. I was lucky enough to film a pair of them feeding on fruit in a tree that was full of beehives. The bees got on to them, and the gibbons had to swing like crazy to get out of there.

I love how daintily they ate off the plate, like they were making sure not to make a mess out of the food

I adore the gibbon songs! What might be just noise to some people, is an amazing ability in those strange but beautiful creatures.
They sing in unison, and have an uncanny ability to interject and follow the other in the vocals.
Fascinating.

I just love how they seem to never get tired after swinging and running around for so long.

[holdyourhorsesbru]

They sound like an alarm going off, especially when all of them sound off. My cats ran to the screen to see what was making the noise..so cute.
