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 Animal TU . 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 .
