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.
