Gibbons are adapted for an arboreal lifestyle and use a highly specialized mode of locomotion called brachiation. Instead of grasping, their hands form a loose hook around branches, enabling them to swing through the trees using a hand-over-hand motion.
Gibbons live in small family groups made up of a mated pair and their young offspring. Every morning, the male and female will perform a ritualized vocal duet to advertise their territory to other gibbon groups.

∙ 8y agoGibbons' hands are very much like ours; they have four long fingers plus a smaller opposable thumb. Their feet have five toes, including an opposable big toe. Gibbons can grasp and carry things with both their hands and their feet. When they swing through the trees (called brachiating), they use four fingers of their hands like a hook (but they do not use the thumb for this).

What is special about the hands of the white cheeked gibbon?
the wrist is composed of a ball and socket joint, allowing for biaxial movement. This greatly reduces the amount of energy needed in the upper arm and torso, while also reducing stress on the shoulder joint. Gibbons also have long hands and feet, with a deep cleft between the first and second digits of their hands
