gibbon
Long-armed Asian primate
A gibbon is a small, slender ape native to the forests of Southeast Asia, known for its long arms and acrobatic movement through trees.
Gibbons swing branch to branch with remarkable speed and grace, a form of locomotion called brachiation.
Unlike great apes, gibbons lack tails and are considered lesser apes.
Their loud, melodic calls carry for miles through the forest.
