The Swinging Gibbon

Back


Talk about acrobatics. These gibbons in Borneo can swing from branch to branch, sometimes up to 30 feet. And that's without a rope or safety net!

I would like to have a gibbon also, but I don't have the space that he would need. so I wouldn't cage him up. he stays wild

yeah. having grown up with David Attenborough, this is really sub standard stuff. Gibbons are cool though. I hope they inherit the earth after us :)

The fact that the announcer acts as if he doesn't yet have any pubes really ruins this video for me.
