Coat colors vary from a light buff color to black with all colors having white hands and feet. Thumbs are not connected to the palm but originate freely from the wrist providing great flexibility. The thumbs are rarely used during swinging. The hand is used much more like a hook. The method is good as gibbons are the most agile of all living primates. They move about by the hand over hand swinging method known as brachiation. Casual leaps in excess of 3 meters are common during movement and great leaps of 9 meters or more have been reported. On the ground or on wide branches, gibbons typically walk upright with Read More Go to Site Crosswinds.Net - Decommissioned Votes:0 Simply Professional We Support Make Poverty History!!

I stop dead in my tracks and listen. Silence. Another whoop. Another silence. And suddenly, in a burst of pure tones, the ancient symphony begins. The forest stills, overwhelmed, transfixed. Each time, these moments of the old song are new to me. These moments of the life-song of the hoolock gibbon, echoing richly through the forest, scudding through the sunbeams, filling the heavens and stirring the earth.

The chief characteristics distinguishing apes from monkeys are the absence of a tail, their more or less upright posture and the high development of their brain. The White-handed gibbon (also know as the Lar gibbon) has a black to pale brown or yellowish-gray fur body, with white hair framing a black naked face. The palms of the hand and soles of the feet are also free of fur and white in color, hence its name.

Their natural habitat is in the trees, where they can swing from limb to limb with remarkable speed. Sometimes, when moving along a large branch, or on the ground, they stand upright with their arms held high for balance, like a tightrope walker. They sleep sitting up in the branches, huddled together in twos and threes. Gibbons live in small family units, and claim a certain area of the forest as their territory. Each morning, before their daily search for fruits, leaves, and buds, and the occasional insect or young bird, they warn intruders of their presence by making ear-splitting shrieks that can be heard over long distances. Gibbons usually weig Read More Go to Site
