We know the weekend is over, but HANG in there!! 💪🏼 Gibbons have specialized shoulder and wrist joints with hook-like hands that allow them to swing gracefully in the treetops! 🌳 Pictured here is a male pileated gibbon (Hylobates pileatus). (1/2)

Their unique form of movement is called BRACHIATION. So here’s your reminder from our favorite swinging, singing ape to HANG IN THERE! ✨ (2/2) #iucngibbon #iucnssa

Gibbon mothers typically only give birth to 1 baby at a time, but twins are possible! A group of gibbons usually consists of a mated adult pair and 1-3 offspring. Although there are many variations on this! After all, there are 20 species of gibbon - no 2 families are alike!! ✨
