Gibbons also called the lesser apes, gibbons differ from great apes. Gibbons also display pair-bonding, unlike most of the great apes. Gibbons considered the best tree travelers, One unique aspect of gibbon physiology is that the wrist is composed of a ball and socket joint, allowing for biaxial movement so Gibbons are excellent arm swingers. They are the fastest and most agile of all tree-dwelling, non-flying mammals. Have you heard about Singing Gibbons?? Scientists have found that gibbons have developed an unusual way of scaring off predators by singing to them. They discovered that wild gibbons in Thailand have developed a unique song as a natural defense against predators. Literally singing for survival, the gibbons appear to use the song, not just to warn their group members but also those in neighbouring areas as well.
