A gibbon is any of approximately 20 species of small apes found in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. Gibbons, like the great apes (gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees, and bonobos), have a humanlike build and no tail, but gibbons seem to lack higher cognitive abilities and self-awareness. They also differ from great apes in having longer arms, dense hair, and a throat sac used for amplifying sound. Gibbon voices are loud, are musical in tone, and carry over long distances. The most characteristic vocalization is the “great call,” usually a duet in which the female leads and the male joins in with less-complex notes, used as a territorial marker by both sexes.
If you love gibbons as much as we do at AnimalTV, please think about donating to The Silvery Gibbon Project. The Silvery Gibbon Project aims to raise funds for Javan gibbons and other gibbon species to provide habitats and protection for gibbons.

@@vividvulpe9842 you must be fun at parties
@@totallyoutveline8899 I’m introverted. But I can be a good entertainer
@@totallyoutveline8899 My response is more out of respect for the species, not out of being a dick.
Their swinging is so fluid and effortless, it’s almost as if they’re flying.
It reminds me of Spiderman lol!
3:23 is just SPECTACULAR
at this point they are just showin off lol
J unique cartwheels 🤸♂️
For real
10\10 car alarm wails
Bruh upside down cartwheels, what even
I absolutely adore how quickly they sit down. Just so strange yet hilarious to me
They know exactly what they wanna do
Like a computer game scripted animation.
They sit down like they’re late and try to make you think they’ve been there the whole time
World champions at musical chairs
4:00 how they beutifuly sat for the lunch 😍
Ah yes
The fluidity of their movement, even on the ground, is insane. They're like a bundle of fast-twitch muscles.
Literally, animals have much higher distribution of fast twitch fibers compared to humans
What about sloth. Haha
@@bhopirl4552 that depends entirely on the species of animal. Humans are probably on the lower end of the spectrum, but so are dogs and wolves, because they, like us, are built for endurance.
@@joelmattsson9353 yeah true, i just meant in general, monke especially
@@bhopirl4552 uh oh 🦧💨
Gibbon baby walks towards orangutan Gibbon mom *NOPE*
«Please do not disturb mister orangutan»
gibbon mom knows better not to disturb orangutan
Racism?
Aren’t Orangutans one of the chilliest primates ? I knows Gibbons are very good natured for one of the lesser apes
Awesome. What I was looking for
Watching them swing around is unreal.
So smooth and Effortless
I can do that
that gibbons knows no fear
So beautiful just the way they flow. The power of their arms are preposterous. We're such weak creatures in comparison.
dannyboots I bet you can but could do it as gracefully and as comedically as a gibbon
NOW I KNOW WHO REALLY INVENTED THE REAL CAR ALARM
Yes! I was thinking exactly the same thing. Did they learn it or is it natural!!
Lmfao yes!!
@@_-AB-_ natural
And pistol toys
Yes sounds a bit like police sirens - maybe its a warning cry and thats why sirens sound this way today!
4:57 - When you run out of the shower naked past the open window facing street to get your boxers on the chair.
yoooo ahahahaha
😂😂😂
The distance is cleared @2:24 is insane. Fascinating creatures.
I love gibbons. When I'm filming in the forest, it's great to hear them singing in the morning. I was lucky enough to film a pair of them feeding on fruit in a tree that was full of beehives. The bees got on to them, and the gibbons had to swing like crazy to get out of there.
Thats awesome you get to see them in person but hope they didn't get stung!!!
@@SalemSphynx On that occasion, I think the gibbons might have picked up a sting or two judging by the way they were moving to get away!! The rainy season has just finished here in Thailand, so I will be back in the forest a lot over the next few months and hope to get some more gibbon film.
Way they walk is hilarious 😂
lol I know :) Everything they do is so adorable = my favorite apes 🥰
i'd like to believe that gibbons were used to make laser noises in a sci-fi movie at least once
Gibbons seemed to show so much love and affection towards their babies
shirley Trost you guys did filming
How can anyone NOT w babies that cute! :)
Just like humans
They are not nasty, like the nasty baby Macaques! So good with their young. The babies are just adorable 😍❤️
Well... they are apes, so it's nothing new nor outstanding
I’ve never seen a baby gibbon until now. Those little guys are ridiculously cute.
let's all take a moment and appreciate that there is no royalty free music in the background
Underrated
WELL SAID
Preach
Ukulele whistling music...lol
It's fashinating to listen natural environment ,, When two gibbons, male and female, chase each other and sing in tune, it means that they are a steady couple, and unlike other monkeys, they remain united for life, and every year their song becomes more and more in tune.
1:52 this one was straight up flexing
If i could climb like that i'd flex all the time
Fr
That was awesome.
Right, he was totally showin off 😆
A complete flex lmao
I love how daintily they ate off the plate, like they were making sure not to make a mess out of the food
If you look closely near the end of that clip you can see the closer one holding their hand out over the food debating which part they wanted to eat next
It was unnerving how familiar that was. I've seen that a lot during the holidays. People picking what pieces of food they want carefully just like those two did. Very human like behavior but it's not surprising since we are both primates and even further as we are both apes.
0:03 "Leave that nice lady alone, sweetie"
0:11 “Hey Mr Orangutan..........Mr Orangutan...........MR ORANGUTAN”
🤣🤣
i think these guys are the best tree climber. so agile and fast.
Go Google for more interesting facts about them
Movements are so graceful yet they are freaking STRONG
@@lark3414 Lol I just watch a video of a Gibbon face planting the ground. So I dont know about graceful
@@Splexsychiick Survival of the fittest.
@@Splexsychiick was it the one with the hedgehog by any chance? Lol
That smol gibbon at the beginning is so adorable!
Omg! 03:22 Awesome “up-side-down” cartwheels on a rope! Looks like fun!!!
Yeah that was sick
What a showoff!
3:43 I'll never get to know what one of the troubles is
I actually saw the full video. The trouble they’re talking about is habitat loss because gibbons live their whole lives in trees and humans use trees a lot for manufacturing. They continue to say that the conservation that takes care of said gibbons sources any tree based products from trees that the gibbons in the wild specifically don’t use, so it won’t deprive them of a home :)
@@thesatsumonster thank god people like u exist
I love how the walky waky so fast and then BLOP sit down with knees against them hueheueh so cute
5:02 that mf Walking like the gta monkey playermodel
🤣🤣
I just love how they seem to never get tired after swinging and running around for so long.
4:20 that slow-mo shout when the other just watches him XD
the slow mo shout was scary its like seeing a human scream heeeeej
aahahaha
Bro, that fucking face man, I love it!
HA
I adore the gibbon songs! What might be just noise to some people, is an amazing ability in those strange but beautiful creatures. They sing in unison, and have an uncanny ability to interject and follow the other in the vocals. Fascinating.
they sing in duets with their life partner.
@@nickhowatson4745in which the female is the dominant one of the two. What she wants, she gets, she eats first, she begins their duet vocals. Really fascinating to watch
5:23 (man whistles) Whooping Gibbon: (glares at man) "Dude, that's just sad."
4:29 I'm still trying to copy and learn this skill. with this talking technique i will stand up suddenly in a negotiation and produce these sounds. everyone will just lower their gaze and be silent in fear. when i'm done, i'll state my claim and everyone will agree on it in awestruck.
hilarious
They are magic, and for some reason their sound is so soothing, they're like birds 🤗🤗💞✨.
Yeah *OOOOOGH* is very soothing Can sleep to that
They deserve to have so much more! I wish zoos were less like jails and more like open habitat.
Well most are, some zoos have a area where people see the animals and a areas where the animals can go to that’s away from people, there’s still a fence of course
They sound like an alarm going off, especially when all of them sound off. My cats ran to the screen to see what was making the noise..so cute.
The swinging gets more impressive when you imagine yourself in their place
The one swinging kept looking back like "Oh this doesn't impress you? Ok watch me go higher!...ooh still not impressed huh?.... how bout this?!"
1:09 so that's how they got that obi wan sound in star wars IV
They are so cheeky and like to tease everything. LOL
Its so calming to see them Gibbons sit and eat without any hasty movements or trying to snatch the food away so 1 could have more to itself. A peacefull dinner with the gibbons, wouldnt that be a treat if you encountered compassionate gibbons in the wild 😂😂 Imagine going somewhere for a picknic and a cute gibbon couple squats next to you to enjoy the meal together 😂
schlibbon
The gift that keeps on gibbon
monkey lamp
They play tag, just like little schoolchildren.
1:52 that's simply AMAZING how effortlessly he is moving through the branches! lol, i bet that thing would rip a strong man's arms right off without even trying hard.
Quit that clown talk
@@theamazingangstyteen-man3535 lol, stfu doofus!...no one is interested in your bs opinions.
The only apes that can rip off a human limb are humans gorillas and orangutans but of course it would take lots of time for all 3 to actually rip a limb off and its a trash way to fight
@@douglasharley2440 gibbons are the size of a dog lol 1 smack n he dead stop making humans be weak and animals strong lol
@@thebeanz6593 lol, stfu idiot. you don't have any understanding of biophysics, just videogames.

It’s amazing how their coats stay unmatted
I never thought I'd actually say something like this, but the gibbon is my spirit animal.
Why? Because you saw them on youtube?
I’d love to swing through trees like that all day it looks so fun, god please make me a gibbon🤣
ikr, the way they move is so effortless it just looks like so much fun!
i want to be gibbon too
I want to be one too in my next life
I’m honored to be in the same super-fam as these living stuffed animals
WoW these are probably the most amazing beautiful creatures I’ve ever seen
1:11 they sound like tools you would hear at the dentist
Just gave me Ptsd back when I was like 10 and they would strap me down because I hated the dentist 😂
1:23
*The police*
God yeah. When they drill into your molars...
Someone went to dentist just recently!
They literally use their arms to catapult themselves around crazy
"Hey look.....food......." "Zat ours?' "Yeah.........I think so................try dis" "Oh yeah, let's eat..."
The speed and confidence the gibbons have traveling with their hands & arms, and swinging from branch to branch. The primate hand is amazing in its ability to grasp and manipulate things.
Love their singing! Such an amazing animal.
3:23 is hella amazing
They are so damn agile and quick. Really one of my fav species of primates.
I like how lanky there arms are. :)
Lol ye
They are very interesting animals
3:23 I've never seen a cartwheel rope swing😂
That one was giving that cat hell!
Thank you, God, for all these magnificent, beautiful creatures!
Why am I so late to the magic of Gibbons, these are mind blowing creatures. Officially obsessed!
These are some of the sounds of nature we should be hearing.
In the first part, the naughty baby gibbon is desperate to play with the baby orangutan, but his protective mother is trying to keep her baby away from the possible danger! Awesome video.
2:21 that was smooth
1:52 Their movement is incredible. You not only need phenomenal strength and balance, but also brainpower, to calculate so fast the distance, angle of every branch in sight to choose your path, and the everchanging physics of your own movement. And no mistake is allowed, since you're always at deadly fall height... 0_0 They must have a huge part of their brain dedicated to visual treatment and space&physics perception.
It's pretty familiar with the enclosure at this point
One gibbon video and i am down this Rabbit hole... This one's s bit wholesome though
1:30 is my mum shouting me out the window when am on the next street because my tea is ready
5:08 ladies when they see a hot guy walking down the street😁
No. Pretty much only males do this.
@@unb3k44n7 it was a joke...
@@truthb4ureyesgoodgrl911 I didn't find it funny to see a man with the word "Goodgirl" in his name to attribute cat calling behavior, which is most notably observed by modern human men in society, and which is unsavory and chauvinistic behavior, to a behavior a female exhibits. Do a google search about what kind of men use the term "good girl" And why they use it. You'll find it's nearly exclusively used by men and EXTREMELY degrading to women. You like to try and degrade women?? Huh? You're just a disgusting pig and you no longer have my permission to address me.
@@truthb4ureyesgoodgrl911 I thought it was funny..thx for the comment
@@unb3k44n7 women do that too and they would sound exactly like these monkeys..no offense
So beautiful. Love how maternal these mother's are towards their babies. Just too darn cute!
Gibbons are showoffs haha, a few weeks ago I discovered this specie of ape existed been amazed since!!
I like how the mom at the start is just like "you mustn't"
4:58 Anime running monkey
🤣
the way that little gibbon runs is funny asf 😂
wow seeing them swing so effortlessly is incredible.. that must be so much fun.
I have just decided that these animals are my spirit animals
Omg the little babies 😭
Gibbons are magical. Just magical creatures in nature. So beautiful.
1:53 felt like, I was watching some smooth animation.
The baby gibbon showing the cat who is boss tho💀
Wow I can't believe they actually sit down and take the time to eat unlike most monkeys who would have ripped apart that table to shreds beyond belief leaving not a crumb behind while they all fight for it
Imagine being a new born, and having a lovely mother covered soft fur to cling to and cuddle with!
Such amazing creatures! Their singing is like birdsong, so nice to listen to. The fluidity with which they swing around is just beautiful. With their proportions they remind me of a cute, fluffy version of SCP-096 XD
They swing like Spider-Man without spider web.
The sounds they make. From sounding like a sweet-sounding police siren to sounding like birds. Kind of cool. But man look how cute their babies are.
Как удивителен, разнообразен и прекрасен наш МИР.... ЛЮДИ, БЕРЕГИТЕ ЕГО
They have Gibbons at the zoo in my town - I couldn’t believe how loud they are - it’s amazing when they get going.
im jus waiting for the chuckle sandwich viewers
This climbing and swinging is truely amazing.
Their graceful abilities are matched only by their fantastic desire to play.. I've seen a gibbon continually drop down from a tree to pull the tails of three young tigers, then dart back up to JUST a hair above the reach of their claws.
The Black ones toward the end have hair cuts like my Grandfather used to wear or him like them lol. I call that the Shemp cut [from the 3 stooges] lol It's so funny, every time they run, up go the arms..... you can't help but laugh. With those long spindly arms the Gibbon looks ridiculous doing anything but swinging, I think they even beat the spider monkey with it's prehensile tail!
Прелесть, какие красивые, потешные, миленькие обезьянки. Чудо природы! Как я их обожаю!!! Автору большой Привет!!!
Слава Богу,что у нас они не водятся. А так потешные,конечно.
DUUUDE gibbons are amazing! 😂 That little one at the beginning trying to mess with the orangutan 😅 then that white cheeked gibbon going back and forth across the trees is SCARY fast 😳 the upside down cartwheel gibbon be like that “watch me move” meme 😜 The funniest one was the table full of food. He starts to swing and he’s like “yeah let’s swi-...hol up,...oooh 😋 now whatta we got over here? “ Also just realized they even put dipping sauce out for em 🤣🙈
