Gibbons Playing at ZWF!

Thursday, December 1st, 2011

Here is a very cute video clip of a few White-Handed Gibbons playing and swinging around at our facility! Click the link here to view the video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fDtgcNtjz0

White-handed gibbons brachiate, or swing by the arms, from branch to branch horizontally and vertically. Their long, strong arms enable them to quickly change direction in flight and to catch a handhold if they fall.

To visit our Gibbons in person then come by for a private tour! Check out our tour page for more info on our packages!
