Gibbons - Guardians Of The Rainforest I created this photo art to celebrate my favorite ape and primate; the gibbon. How are gibbons guardians? Gibbons vocalize because they’re singing to maintain family cohesion but vocalizations can also be warnings of danger. Gibbons are also a sign of a healthy forest because they require an intact forest to live, They live high in the trees and travel by brachiation (using their strong arms to swing from branch to branch and tree to tree). Obviously you can’t swing from tree to tree if you don’t have trees! #Gibbon #Gibbons #LesserApe #Arboreal #TreeDwellers #Ape #NotMonkeys #Brachiation #Primates #SoutheastAsia #SouthAsia #KeystoneSpecies (at Southeast Asia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLvAvPIFfHY/?igshid=4dgqmlrrhelv

Gibbons Are Real Tree Experts. They need to be because they travel by swinging from branch to branch and tree to tree by using their incredibly strong arms. This method of locomotion is called brachiation. Humans also do this (remember “monkey bars) but are only a fraction as amazing as gibbons. Gibbons need strong arms because they’re apes and apes do not have tails so they use their arms to travel high in the canopy of rainforests. This is a #repost from@grp_phuket via @PhotoAroundApp The way that gibbons swing through tree canopies is called brachiating and they can move up to 56km per hour (35 miles per hour) and have been known to swing distances of up to 15 metres (that’s nearly 50 feet)! #funfactWednesday #fun #fact #Swinging #gibbons #gibbonrehabilitationproject #grp #conservation #thailand #phuket #southeastasia #warf #brachiating #sofast #stretchyarms #notmonkeys #apes #whitehandedgibbons #keepwildlifewild #wildlife #ArmchairNaturalist #ISawGibbobsInIndonesiaAndThailand #MyFavoritePrimate https://www.instagram.com/p/B81clKJAwVa/?igshid=iwqr02tugyuj

A pair of Lar Gibbons pose for a shot. These are my favorite apes. They have wonderful songs that add to sounds like the dawn chorus of Gibbons, insects and possibly amphibians. . #LarGibbons #Gibbon #Gibbons #Apes #LesserApes #NotMonkeys .

The Gibbons Of Thailand Have The Efforts of The Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand (WFFT) To Ensure That If They Fall Victim F The Illegal Pet Trade, They Will Be Rescued, Rehabilitated And Retuned To The Wild. Here’s a 4 part video from WFFT. To view the next part of the video swipe from right to left after the current video repeats. . #Gibbon #Gibbons #Apes #NotMonkeys #Thailand #WildlifeRescue #WildlifeRehabilitation https://www.instagram.com/p/BrZyf17A2mi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xi6w43ky4eo9
